Agreement on a sustainable fisheries partnership between the European Union and the Republic of Senegal.

The main aim of this Agreement is to provide an updated framework taking into account the priorities of the reformed Common Fisheries Policy and its external dimension, with a view to establishing a strategic partnership between the European Union and the Republic of Senegal in the field of fisheries. This Agreement establishes the principles, rules and procedures governing: (a) the conditions under which European Union fishing vessels may conduct fishing activities in Senegalese waters within the limits of the available surplus; (b) economic, financial, technical and scientific cooperation in the fisheries sector with a view to promoting sustainable fishing in Senegalese waters and developing Senegal's fisheries sector; (c) cooperation on the arrangements for monitoring fisheries in Senegalese waters to ensure that the above rules and conditions are complied with, and that the measures for the conservation and management of fishery resources are effective and that illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing is prevented. The Parties undertake to promote responsible fishing in Senegalese waters as provided for in FAO's Code of Conduct for Responsible Fishing. A Joint Committee, consisting of representatives of the European Union and Senegal authorities, shall be set up to monitor the application of this Agreement.
