REASONS
On27June 1977 »"theCouncil empowered theCommission toopen
negotiations with anumber ofAfrican countries -Guinea-Bissau ,
Senegal ,Mauritania andCapVerde -ontheconclusion ofagreements
onfishing intheir territorial waters .
As200-mile zonerj areintroduced ,these agreements areintended
toreplace thebilateral agreements between theMember States
andtheAfrican states inquestion which have been suspended orare
about toexpire .
AstheCommunity isunable tooffer reciprocal fishing rights to
these African countries ,they aretoreceive financial compensation ,
come ofwhich will becharged totheCommunity Budget ;theBudget
for1979 contain;' ,anArticle 892 "payments inrespect ofcomponnati on
anddues relating tofishing inthemaritime waters ofcertain
African conn trios' 1,forwhich atoken entry wasmade .
Atanogo I1;il.ingu'-eting hold from 27to30April I979 theCommunity
andSenegal initialled afishing agreement ,which theCouncil is
expected toratify shortly .
This agreement provides for :
(i)thepayment byshipowners ofdues pursuant toSenegalese
regulations andvarying insize depending onwhether catches
arelanded inSenegal oranother country ;
(ii)financial compensation fixed atCFAP 2500000 (roughly
8.6mEUA )andborne bytheCommunity budget tobeused to
finance projects intherural sector ,particularly sea
fishing ;half ofthis sum ispayable immediately after the
agreement issigned ,theother half ayear later ;
(iii)theawarding bytheCommunity toSenegalese nationals of
study andtraining scholarships inthevarious scientific ,
technical andeconomic disciplines related tofishing ;the
modest cost ofthis action cannot becomputed exactly at
thepresent time .
Soastobeable topayhalf th£amount cited above eight weeks after
vhesigning oftheagreement ,theCommission proposes to:
(i)transfer toArticle 892appropriations amounting to45000°° ra
(ii)transfer this sumfrom Item 836O "premium forthenon-marketing
ofmilk andfor theconversion ofdairy herds ",
