Abstract

This Agreement is divided into 16 articles and establishes the principles and rules governing the fishing activities of vessels flying the flags of Member States of the Community in the waters over which Madagascar has sovereignty or jurisdiction in respect of fisheries. Fishing activities are subject to the possession of a fishing licence issued by the authorities of Madagascar upon payment of a fee by the shipowner concerned. The amount of these fees and the methods of payment are set out in the Annex. Protocol 1 to the Agreement on tuna fishing sets out the issuance of a fishing licence for 27 ocean-going freezer tuna boats. Article 2 of the Protocol establishes the amount of the contribution to be paid by the Community for the execution of projects connected with the development of Madagascar's fishing industry. Protocol 2 makes provisions for types of fishing other than those covered by Protocol 1.
