SHORT JUSTIFICATION

Introduction

In recent years the European Union (EU) has signed a number of Fisheries Partnership Agreements (FPAs) and Protocols with ‘third countries’. Through the FPAs, the EU gives financial and technical support in exchange for fishing rights to a wide range of fish stocks in the partner country's exclusive economic zone.

There is one specific FPA with the Government of Denmark and the Home Rule Government of Greenland, hereafter referred to as the EU/Greenland FPA[1].

Greenland[2] originally joined the European Communities (EC) as a part of Denmark in 1973, but left the EC following a referendum in 1985. Today, Greenland is one of the overseas countries and territories (OCT) of the Union, within the meaning of Article 355(2) TFEU. Its relationship with the EU is primarily governed by Articles 198 to 204 TFEU, by Protocol No.34 on Special Arrangements with Greenland (annexed to the TFEU) and by the EU-Greenland partnership, as laid down in the Council Decision 2006/526/EG.

In 1979 Denmark granted ‘Home Rule’ to Greenland, and following a referendum in 2008 all functions of government rest with the Government of Greenland except for those related to defence, fisheries inspection outside the territorial waters, constitutional affairs, currency and monetary policy, which are retained by Denmark.

Fisheries in Greenland

The Ministry of Fisheries, Hunting and Agriculture (MFHA) has overall responsibility for fisheries policy and the management of fish resources in Greenland, with the Institute of Natural Resources responsible for providing the biological basis for fisheries management advice to the MFHA.

The most important Greenlandic fisheries are trawl fisheries for northern prawn, Greenland halibut, cod and redfish. In 2012 the offshore fleet landings were valued at around EUR 200 million with the inshore catch valued at EUR 110 million, with Greenland halibut and prawns each accounting for more than 40 % of total values. Mackerel is an emerging fishery with catches in 2012 of 5 000 tonnes, and a unilaterally declared quota in 2014 of 100 000 tonnes. Greenland’s catching sector employed 1 238 full-time equivalent (FTE) fishermen in 2011.[3]

Fish account for nearly 90 % of exported goods. Virtually all of Greenland’s exports of fish products are destined for the EU, with Denmark accounting for more than 90 % of EU imports. Frozen shrimp/prawns, Greenland halibut and cod are the most important exports.

EU-Greenland FPA

The initial fisheries agreement between the EU on the one hand, and on the Government of Denmark and the Home Rule Government of Greenland on the other, dates back to 1985. This agreement ran for a period of ten years and was thereafter extended for an additional six year periods until it was eventually replaced by the FPA currently into force.

This FPA between the parties was initialled in June 2006, and entered provisionally into force on 1 January 2007 for a period of six years (until 31 December 2012) with renewal periods of six years (tacitly renewed until 31st December 2018). It was adopted into EU law by Council Regulation (EC) No 753/2007 of 28 June 2007.

It is a mixed agreement that provides EU vessels access to a wide range of fish stocks in the Greenlandic Exclusive Economic Zone.

The initial Protocol to the Fisheries Partnership Agreement applied for six years, from 1 January 2007 to 31 December 2012. The current Protocol applies from 1 January 2013 to 31 December 2015 for a period of three years[4]. The duration of the current Protocol was shortened in order to align the renegotiation of the Protocol with the renewal and/or revision of other relevant EU policy instruments, i.e. the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP), the Overseas Association Decision and the EU-Greenland Partnership Initiative.

The current Protocol provides for an EU financial contribution of 17.85 m€ per year, comprising:

a) an annual amount for the access to the Greenlandic EEZ of 15.1 m€ (calculated based on reference prices for each species) including a financial reserve of EUR 1,5 m€ for additional quantities of species made available by Greenland.

b) a specific amount of 2.74 m€ provided to support Greenlandic sectoral fisheries policy. The sectoral policy support is broken down into three main areas: administration (e.g. capacity development); control and enforcement; and scientific research and advice.

The EU pays a fixed annual financial compensation for access irrespective of the fishing opportunities agreed through the Protocol. If the agreed fishing opportunities are lower than the indicative fishing opportunities outlined in the Protocol, then the Protocol makes provision for Greenland to either provide equivalent alternate fishing opportunities to the EU for the year in question, or compensate the EU in the following year.

Evaluation of the current Protocol:

The agreement with Greenland is the third most important for the EU in terms of its economic value.

The ex-post and ex-ante evaluation[5] of the current Protocol, carried out on behalf of the European Commission in the first half of 2014 and published in July 2014, delivers some key findings on the effectiveness of the current Protocol, even though as the European Commission mentioned[6], it focused only on the first out of three years of implementation of the current Protocol.

The main conclusion of the report is that "it would be in the interest of both the EU and Greenland to renew the Protocol, the Protocol provides important economic benefits to both Parties, and helps ensure coherence with EU fishing activities elsewhere in the region".

Generally speaking, the FPA objectives have been achieved. Important exceptions include: agreed quotas for offshore cod that are not consistent with ICES advice, though noting that data collected from the fishery will be used to refine management of the stock; limited supply of fish landings to Greenland; and the generation of limited employment in Greenland.

To date, the Protocol has generated significant benefits to the EU. EU fishing vessels secured access to important fishing opportunities in Greenland, as well as Norway and the Faroe Islands through the EU’s northern agreements. Utilisation of agreed Greenlandic fishing opportunities by EU vessels has been high, with the exception of snow crab, capelin, Atlantic halibut and to a lesser extent east northern prawn.

In 2013, the Protocol generated EUR 10 million in direct value-added to the EU catching sector resulting from fishing opportunities in Greenland, with an additional EUR 12 million in indirect value-added to the EU upstream and downstream sectors. Additional value-added will have been generated from fishing opportunities secured in Norway. Indirect value-added generated in Greenland was limited, as the majority of EU fishing vessels did not use Greenlandic ports. However, the Protocol generated additional benefits to Greenland in the form of financial contributions from the EU and authorisation fees from EU fishing vessels, receiving a total payment per tonne equivalent to one-third of the EU catching sectors revenue from Greenlandic fishing opportunities. Fishery products from EU fishing vessels have not been processed in Greenland or entered the domestic market, with reasons including comparatively low landing prices. Furthermore, there is very limited use of Greenland ports for maintenance and other upstream services. In terms of employment the Protocol generated employment equivalent to 106 FTEs in the EU catching sector, 75 % and 10 % of which were EU and Greenlandic nationals respectively. Nevertheless, the Protocol has generated substantial benefits for both parties.

The EU’s sectoral support funds have provided substantial support to a number of activities that are vital for Greenland’s efforts to manage and control its fisheries. These activities include: supporting the collection and analysis of fishery independent survey data; participation of Greenlandic personnel at scientific and technical meetings of NAFO and ICES; and, control of inshore and offshore fisheries. However, the use of these funds has a strong focus on salaries in some areas. The EU’s financial compensation for access has not been fully aligned with catches, due to low utilisation rates for some species. Furthermore, authorisation fees from EU vessel owners were high in comparison to profits generated from the Protocol by the catching sector. However overall, the Protocol has generated EUR 1.6 in direct and indirect value-added per EUR 1 of payments by the EU and EU vessel operators.

There was full compliance with the majority of the key covenants and obligations of the Protocol. Notable exceptions include: the failure to implement an electronic catch reporting system; and, agreed fishing opportunities that did not fully take account of scientific advice and the precautionary approach.

Analysis of the new Protocol

Empowered by the Council mandate of 25 September 2014[7], the European Commission has held three rounds of negotiations[8] with the Government of Greenland incl. representatives from the Government of Denmark to renew the Protocol due to the expiration of the current Protocol on 31 December 2015. On conclusion of these negotiations, a new Protocol was initialled on 20 March 2015. It covers a period of five years from the date of provisional application (i.e. from the date of its signature and from 1 January 2016 at the earliest).

On 16 July 2015 the European Commission adopted the proposals for renewing the Protocol to the Fisheries Partnership Agreement between the European Union on the one hand and the Government of Denmark and the Home Rule Government of Greenland, on the other hand.

The New Protocol provides for an EU financial contribution of 17.8 m€ per year, comprising:

a) an annual amount for the access to the Greenlandic EEZ of 13.17 m€ (calculated based on reference prices for each species) including a financial reserve of EUR 1,7 m€ for additional quantities of species made available by Greenland;

b) a specific amount of 2.931 m€ provided to support Greenlandic sectoral fisheries policy. The sectoral policy support is broken down into three main areas: administration (e.g. capacity development); control and enforcement; and scientific research and advice.

If fishing opportunities are lower than pointed out in Table 1, Greenland is expected to compensate for the deficit. Any by-catch by EU vessels should be limited to 10% of the targeted stock, except for Northern Prawn (by-catch levels limited to 5%).

The reduction of some quota, above all the capelin from 60000 to 20000 is not due to a decrease in biomass or for problems of sustainability, but it relates to high quota payed, in the past, with only partial return in actual catches.

Position of the Rapporteur

The rapporteur considers the new Protocol to be in line with the objectives of the Fisheries Partnership Agreement : it strengthens the cooperation between the Union and Greenland. It promotes a partnership framework in which to develop a sustainable fisheries policy and responsible exploitation of fishery resources in the Greenlandic fishing zone. This is in the interest of both Parties, in line with relevant conservation and management measures and within the limits of the available surplus.

For all these reasons, the rapporteur recommends the consent by the EP.

However, it is also important to note that whilst the overall objectives may be coherent, EU fisheries in the FPA have targeted stocks that are overexploited and/or contributed to catches that exceed precautionary advice. As such, there are cases where the actual impacts of the FPA have not fully met the objectives of the CFP, the scientific advice of NAFO and ICES, as well as the objectives of the FPA.

The rapporteur draws attention to some aspects that need to be improved on the basis of the analysis of the previous Protocol, including:

-The renewal of the Protocol should serve to increase benefits in terms of sustainable exploitation of fish stocks and resolve some ongoing operational difficulties;

- It is suggested to better follow scientific advice and the principle of available surplus taking also into account the utilisation by Member States and the EU interests in fisheries arrangements with Northern partners;

- There should be more control and adjustment to the EU's financial compensation, according to the ex-post assessment of the protocol.

Following the recent Court of auditor's analysis on the FPAs[10], although the Court examined only four of the twelve agreements in force, not including the EU/Greenland FPA, your rapporteur would like to highlight the observations from the Court and to stress the importance of reliable information on fish stock and catch data in order to respect the principles and objectives covering the CFP and the FPAs and in order to draw robust conclusions regarding the evaluation of the FPAs.

In general the Rapporteur regrets that the European Parliament has a limited role in the adoption of the Fisheries Partnership agreements through only a consent procedure; believes that the European Parliament should have a more active role and should be immediately and fully informed at all stages of the procedures concerning the FPAs or its renewals in order to increase transparency and democratic accountability of the protocols.

KRATKO OBRAZLOŽENJE

Grenland je jedna od 26 prekomorskih zemalja i područja obuhvaćenih dijelom IV. Ugovora o funkcioniranju Europske unije. Njegovo je gospodarstvo u velikoj mjeri ovisno o sektoru ribarstva, drugom po redu najvećem gospodarskom sektoru u Grenlandu.

Treba uzeti u obzir posljedice društvenog razvoja na klimu, okoliš i prirodu s obzirom na to da su arktička područja vrlo osjetljiva i jedinstvena u pogledu flore i faune. Stoga ribolovne mogućnosti moraju biti usklađene s relevantnim mjerama očuvanja i upravljanja.

Osim toga, taj Protokol mora biti u skladu s Deklaracijom o ribarstvu na Arktiku potpisanoj 16. srpnja 2015. u Oslu kojom se komercijalni ribolov u središnjem Arktičkom oceanu ograničava kako bi se zajamčilo očuvanje krhkog arktičkog ekosustava.

Novim protokolom, kojim se obuhvaća petogodišnje razdoblje od datuma njegova potpisivanja, predviđen je godišnji financijski doprinos u iznosu od 17 799 978 EUR. Protokolom bi se trebala ojačati suradnja između Europske unije i Grenlanda te promicati razvoj održive ribarstvene politike i odgovornog iskorištavanja ribolovnih resursa u ribolovnoj zoni Grenlanda. Sporazum se odnosi na više vrsta i njime se predviđaju ribolovne mogućnosti za bakalar, pelagijsku škarpinu, pridnenu škarpinu, veliki list (ploču), sjevernu kozicu, kapelan i grenadir.

Izvjestitelj smatra da treba promicati održive ribolovne prakse kako bi se zaštitila dugoročna produktivnost lokalnog ribarstva u Grenlandu i kako bi se podržala ribarstvena politika Grenlanda. U tom pogledu izdavanje povlastica za ribolov treba striktno uvjetovati upotrebom lokalne radne snage i lokalnih poduzeća. To bi donijelo najveću korist grenlandskom društvu.

Financijskim doprinosom povezanim sa Sporazumom o partnerstvu u ribarstvu potrebno je podržati održivost sektora ribarstva u Grenlandu i poduprijeti Grenland razvojem i povećanjem mogućnosti lokalnog zapošljavanja u lokalnom ribarskom sektoru.

Izvjestitelj za mišljenje: Tomáš Zdechovský

KRATKO OBRAZLOŽENJE

Europska komisija, na temelju mandata koji joj je dodijelilo Vijeće, vodila je pregovore u ime Unije s Vladom Danske i Vladom Grenlanda u cilju obnavljanja Protokola uz Sporazum o partnerstvu u ribarstvu između Europske unije i te dvije teritorijalne jedinice. Važeći Protokol o utvrđivanju ribolovnih mogućnosti i financijskog doprinosa predviđenih Sporazumom o partnerstvu prestaje važiti 31. prosinca 2015. Nakon pregovora novi je Protokol parafiran 20. ožujka 2015.

Novi je Protokol u skladu s ciljevima Sporazuma o partnerstvu u ribarstvu, njime se jača suradnja između Unije i Grenlanda i promiče partnerski okvir za razvoj održive ribarstvene politike i odgovornog iskorištavanja ribolovnih resursa u ribolovnoj zoni Grenlanda u interesu obiju strana.

Protokolom o ribarstvu obuhvatilo bi se razdoblje od pet godina počevši od datuma njegove privremene primjene, to jest od datuma njegova potpisivanja, a najranije 1. siječnja 2016. Protokolom se odobravaju ribolovne mogućnosti plovilima Unije u ribolovnoj zoni Grenlanda, u skladu s mjerama očuvanja i upravljanja i u granicama raspoloživog viška. Protokolom se u tu svrhu određuju okvirni godišnji iznosi ribolovnih mogućnosti (u tonama) koje Grenland odobrava plovilima Unije.

Protokolom je predviđen ukupni godišnji financijski doprinos u iznosu od 17 799 978 EUR godišnje za razdoblje njegova trajanja. Navedeni se iznos odnosi na:

•13 168 978 EUR godišnje za pristup ribolovnoj zoni Grenlanda

•2 931 000 EUR godišnje, što odgovara dodatnoj omotnici koju EU plaća za potporu ribarstvenoj politici Grenlanda

•1 700 000 EUR kao godišnja pričuva za dodatne i nove ribolovne mogućnosti koje EU može prihvatiti podložno znanstvenim mišljenjima i višku resursa.

Strane su se usuglasile surađivati u cilju provedbe sektorske ribarstvene politike Grenlanda i u tom smislu nastavljaju politički dijalog u vezi s odgovarajućim programiranjem. Utvrđene su posebne odredbe kojima se uređuju načela odgovornog upravljanja ribarstvom. Utvrđena je i odredba za eksperimentalni program ribarstva za vrste koje nisu obuhvaćene Protokolom te za znanstvenu suradnju u području održivog iskorištavanja u ribarstvu.
