The Protocol attached to this FPA provides fishing opportunities on tuna and related species in Mozambique waters. In return, the annual EU financial contribution will be € 900 000, fully earmarked for support to the implementation of the Mozambican fisheries policy. In addition to the financial contribution from the Union a payment of more than € 300 000 is expected from ship owners in the form of licence fees. |
