The European Parliament has approved a fisheries partnership agreement with the Republic of Cabo Verde. This agreement updates the cooperation framework for sustainable fishing and will allow EU vessels to fish in Cabo Verde waters. The decision comes in the context of the need to ensure responsible exploitation of marine resources.
The agreement falls within the EU's Common Fisheries Policy and aims to support sustainable fishing in the Eastern Atlantic region. Main objectives include sustainable management of fish stocks, supporting the development of the fisheries sector in Cabo Verde, and strengthening scientific cooperation.
The agreement will enter into force after completion of ratification procedures by all involved parties. The European Council will manage implementation, and the European Commission will monitor the application of the agreement. Control will be carried out in cooperation with Cabo Verde authorities.
The agreement will ensure continued access for EU fishing vessels to Cabo Verde waters, contributing to the stability of the European fisheries sector. Citizens will benefit from sustainable fishery products, and local communities in Cabo Verde will receive financial and technical support for the development of their fisheries sector.
