Agreement between the Government of the Ivory Coast and the Government of Senegal in the field of marine fisheries.

This Agreement provides for the granting of fishing rights by Senegal to vessels of the Ivory Coast and the authorization by the Ivory coast of Senegalese fishery products on the market of Ivory coast, and for matters related to such granting of licences or sale of fishery products. Licences shall be granted to vessels of the Ivory coast that are not larger than 1500 gross registered tons in waters under Senegal jurisdiction. A special authorization shall be granted to one vessel which shall be based at Dakar and which shall deep-freeze 70 percent of the catch of vessels of the Ivory Coast authorized to fish in waters under Senegal jurisdiction. The remaining 30 percent shall be deep-frozen in on-shore in Senegal. Importation of Senegalese products shall not be subject to any quantitative restriction. Fishing vessels having the nationality of one State shall enjoy in the ports of the other State the same treatment as the vessels of that State. An ad hoc committee shall be set up for the purpose of determining the number of permits.
