The Committee on Fisheries adopted the report by Norica NICOLAI (ADLE, RO) on the draft Council decision on the conclusion, on behalf of the European Union, of a Sustainable Fisheries Partnership Agreement between the European Union and the Republic of Senegal and the Implementation Protocol thereto.

The committee recommended that the European Parliament give its consent to the conclusion of the Agreement.

Members called on the Commission to:

  • forward to Parliament the minutes and the conclusions of the meetings of the Joint Committee provided for in the Agreement, as well as the multiannual sectoral programme provided for in the new protocol;
  • facilitate the participation of representatives of Parliament as observers in the meetings of the Joint Committee;
  • send to Parliament and to the Council, before the present Agreement expires and as negotiations begin for a future one, detailed information in the form of an ex-post report on the costs and benefits of the Agreement;
  • submit to Parliament yearly reports on the implementation of the Agreement.

The Commission is also called upon to keep Parliament immediately and fully informed at all stages of the procedures related to the protocol and its renewal and to focus in particular on the promotion of local management and accountability, as well as to facilitate the provision of adequate information to all local actors interested in the Agreement and its implementation.
