Traducción de «Jurisdicción en materia de pesca » (Español → Inglés) :

The European Union negotiated with the Union of the Comoros (hereinafter ‘the Comoros’) a new Protocol, providing EU vessels with fishing opportunities in the waters over which the Comoros has sovereignty or jurisdiction in respect of fisheries.

It provides Union vessels with fishing opportunities in the waters over which the Democratic Republic of São Tomé and Príncipe has sovereignty or jurisdiction in respect of fisheries.

The coverage of a greater portion of the Mediterranean Sea under the jurisdiction of the EU Member States would ensure that in such areas, EU regulations concerning fisheries, environment and transport would apply and a higher level of protection would follow.

Commissioner Emma Bonino, during a press conference in Brussels, declared that in this agreement "there are no winners and no losers" and she underlined the following aspects : - the agreement is an element of stability for the construction of a new relationship in the fishing sector between the Union and Morocco and will be the point of departure for new relationships between the Union and third countries; - the agreement represents a platform for : a) the establishment of a partnership, ensuring a better integration among private partners; b) the structural adaptation of both Parties; c) the improvement of conservation and management of resources, in particular through the gradual reduction of the fishing possibilities and the substanc ...[+++]ial improvement of controls at sea and in the ports; - the agreement implies the reduction of the fishing possibilities, taking into account the biological constraints, the socio-economic caracteristics of certain fishing categories and the legitimate aspirations of Morocco to develop its own sector.

It should be noted that there have been rules on jurisdiction in matters relating to maintenance in a Community context since the conclusion in 1968 of the Brussels Convention on Jurisdiction and the Enforcement of Judgments in Civil and Commercial Matters.

After obtaining reasonable proof that the MAYI-IV had been acting illegally in NAFO waters (illegal use of fishing gear), the competent Spanish authorities withdrew its temporary fishing licence and asked it to return to a Spanish port for inspection.
