Abstract

The Protocol establishes that the Community will provide a financial contribution for scientific and technical programmes to promote better understanding and management of fisheries and living resources in Mauritius fishing zone and for study grants and practical training courses. This compensation shall cover a catch weight in waters of Mauritius of 5500 tonnes of catches per year. If the annual amount of catches by Community vessels in the waters of Mauritius exceeds this quantity, the above-mentioned compensation shall be increased by EUR 50 for each additional tonne caught. If the Community fails to make any of the payments, the Agreement on fishing may be suspended. The Annex sets out the conditions for the pursuit of fishing activities by Community vessels in the waters of Mauritius and the issuing formalities for obtaining a fishing licence. In addition, tuna seiners and surface longliners may fish in the waters of Mauritius except within a distance of 12 nautical miles measured from the baseline and Community tuna vessels shall endeavour to sell part of their catch to the Mauritian tuna canning industry at a price to be fixed in common agreement between Community shipowners and the owners of the Mauritian tuna canning industry.
