EU-Mauritania fisheries partnership agreement: fishing opportunities and financial contribution (A8-0147/2016 - Gabriel Mato)
Pavel Telička (ALDE), in writing. ‒ I voted in favour of the new protocol renewing the EU-Mauritania fisheries partnership agreement, which grants the EU certain fishing rights in Mauritanian waters in return for financial, technical and environmental support to the Mauritanian fishing economy. The new protocol, which renews the agreement for four years, will be a major step forward in comparison to the previous one, especially regarding transparency and priority access for the European fleet, as well as regarding the obligation of equal access conditions for non-EU fleets.
