EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 

Given the interest of Community fleets in fishing in the 
Indian Ooean and following the agreements already reached by 
the Community with certain states in the region, in 
particular the Seychelles, Madagascar, Mozambique and the 
Comoros Islands, negotiations took plaoe in Dar-Es-Salaam 
from 12 to 15 March 1990 between the Community and the 
United Republic of Tanzania with a view to concluding a 
fishing agreement. 

The negotiations were successful, and a fishing agreement 
between the Community and United Republic of Tanzania was 
initialled in Dar-Es-Salaam on 15 March 1990.  The Agreement 
provides fishing opportunities over a period of three years 
for 46 tuna seiners and for 8 surface longliners fishing for 
tuna and other migratory species. 

In return for these fishing possibilities the Community will 
pay a financial compensation of 350,000 ECU a year for a 
period of three years.  If annual catohes exceed 7,000 
tonnes, the financial compensation will be increased 
proportionately.  In addition, the Community will pay a 
contribution of 430,000 ECU over three years to finanoe 
Tanzanian soientifio and teohnloal programmes and 200,000 
ECU for study or training awards in subjects relating to 
fisheries. 

For their part, shipowners will be required to pay fees as 
follows : 
- for tuna seiners : 

1,000 ECU per vessel plus 20 ECU 
per tonne caught in excess of 50 
tonnes ; 
200 ECU per vessel plus 20 ECU per 
tonne caught in excess of 10 
tonnes. 

- for longliners  : 

The Commission proposes that the Council should, without 
delay and after consulting the European Parliament, approve 
the Agreement between the European Economic Community and 
the United Republic of Tanzania on fishing off Tanzania, by 
adopting the Regulation attached hereto.

for ocean-going tuna seiners  : licences for 46 vessels 

for surface longliners fishing for tuna and other migratory species: 

Licences for 8 vessels. 

2. 

In addition,  consideration  will  be  given,  at  the  first  or  at  a 

subsequent meeting of the Joint Committee referred to in Article 8 

of  the  Agreement,  to  granting  authorisation  for  fishing 

possibilities  for  demersal  and  Crustacea  species  on  terms  to be 

established by that Committee including the corresponding Community 

financial compensation. 

A R T I C LE 

1. 

The financial compensation referred to in Article 7 of the Agreement 

should be set at 1,050,000 ECU  for the duration of  this protocol, 

to be paid in three equal annual instalments. 

2. 

This  amount  shall  cover  the  fishing  activities  referred  to  in 

Article  1 up to a catch weight  in Tanzania's  fishing zone of 

"7 

7,000 tonnes of tuna and other migratory  species  fished per year. 

If  the  annual  amount  caught  by  Community  vessels  in  Tanzania's 

fishing  zone  exceeds  this  quantity,  the  above  mentioned 

compensations shall be increased by 50 ECU for each additional tonne 

caught. 

3. 

The  use  to  which  this  compensation  is  put  shall  be  the  sole

in Tanzania's  fishing zone and  the purchase and/or maintenance of 

equipment  to  improve  the  administrative  structure  relating  to 

fisheries  in Tanzania.

will assist Tanzanian nationals  in finding places in establishments 

in  its  Member  States  or  States  with  which  it  has  concluded 

cooperation agreements and will make available an amount of 200.000 

ECU for study or practical training awards with a maximum duration 

of  5  years  in  the  various  scientific,  technical  and  economic

COMPETITIVENESS  AND  EMPLOYMENT  IMPACT  STATEMENT 

The  objt-ct  of  this  measure  is  to  obtain  fishing  possibi Li t S es  for 

Communi'.y  fishermen.  It  will  involve  undertakings  in  certain 

obligations  (e.g.  the  payment  of  licence  fees)  but  these  will  be  clearly 

outweighed  by  the  benefit  of  increased  employment  which  will  result. 

RAPPORT  DE  L'IMPACT  SUR  LA  COMPETITIVITE  ET  L'EMPLOI 

L'objet  de  cette  mesure  est  d'obtenir  des  possibilités  de  pêche  pour 

les  pê:heurs  de  la  Communauté. 

Cela  inplique  l 'engagement  dans  certaines  obligations  (entre  autres 

paieme  t  des  redevances  de  licences)  mais  celles-ci  seront  nettement 

dépassées  par  le  bénéfice  de  l'augmentation  de  l'emploi.
