Abstract

The Parties shall cooperate to ensure the conservation and rational management of the fish stocks occurring within the areas of fisheries jurisdiction of both Parties and in adjacent areas. The Parties shall seek either directly or through the appropriate regional bodies to agree with third parties on measures for the conservation and rational utilization of fish stocks, including the fixing of total allowable catches and the allocations thereof. Each Party shall grant access to fishing vessels of the other Party to fish within its area of fisheries jurisdiction in the Baltic Sea, beyond 12 nautical miles from the baselines from which the territorial sea is measured, in accordance with the provisions set out below. Lithuania may grant additional fishing possibilities in areas under its fisheries jurisdiction; in exchange, the Community will grant financial contributions, which shall be utilized by Lithuania for the development of fisheries technologies including aquaculture, conservation of fish resources, research and training purposes in such a manner as not to prejudice the interests of the Community.
