PROTOCOL 

establishing fishing rights and  financial  compensation 
for the period  from 1 June 1993 to 31 May  1996 

Article 1 

For a period of three years from  1 June  1993, the fishing rights granted 
pursuant to Article 2 of the Agreement  shall be 40 freezer tuna seiners and 
eight pole-and-line wet tuna vessels or surface long-liners. 

Article 2 

1.  The  financial compensation referred to in Article  6 of the Agreement 
shall be, for the period  referred to in Article  1, ECU  1 650 000, payable in 
three equal annual  instalments.  That amount shall cover an annual catch of 
9  000 tonnes  in Sâo Tome e Principe waters.  If the tuna caught by Community 
vessels  in Sâo Tome e Principe waters exceeds that weight, the 
abovementioned  amount  shall be increased  proportionately. 

2.  The use to which this compensation  is put  shall be the sole 
responsibility  of the Government  of the Democratic  Republic of Sào Tome e 
Principe.  It shall be paid  into an account with the National  Bank of 
Sào Tome e Principe. 

Article 3 

1.  The Community  shall contribute during the period  referred  to in 
Article  1 the sum of ECU 250 000 towards the  financing of  scientific and 
technical programmes to improve biological  and  fishery resource  information 
as regards the exclusive economic  zone of Sâo Tome e Principe. 

2.  These programmes  shall be drawn up jointly by the competent  authorities 
of Sâo Tome e Principe and the Community, which will,  if necessary, 
participate  in their  implementation.  Once the content of the programmes has 
been approved, they shall be financed by payments  into an account  indicated 
by the competent  authorities of Sâo Tome e Principe. 

8 

3.  The competent  authorities of Sào Tome e Principe shall send to the 
Commission of the European Communities  a report on the  implementation  of the 
approved  programmes  and the results obtained.  The Commission of the 
European Communities  reserves the right to request  any  further  scientific 
information  from the authorities of Sâo Tome e Principe. 

Article 4 

1.  The two Parties agree that  improving  the skills and  knowledge of those 
involved  in sea  fishing  is a vital element  in the success of their 
cooperation.  To that end, the Community shall: 

a) make  it easier  for nationals of Sâo Tome e Principe to find places in 

establishments  in its Member  States and  shall provide  for that  purpose 
awards  for study  and practical  training  in the various scientific, 
technical  and economic disciplines  relating to  fisheries.  These  awards 
may  also be used by any State  linked to the Community  by a Cooperation 
Agreement; 

b) cover Sâo Tome e Principe's participation  in the Regional  Fisheries 

Committee  for the Gulf of Guinea  and  Iccat; 

c) cover  its participation  in international meetings or training  courses on 

fisheries. 

2.  The cost of these measures may  not exceed ECU 275 000.  This sum shall 
be paid to the account  indicated  by the Ministry  of Commerce, Industry, 
Tourism  and  Fisheries  in three equal  annual  instalments.  That Ministry 
shall manage all the measures  financed  in this way  referred  to in 
paragraph  1 and  shall  submit to the Commission  a detailed  report on the use 
made of these funds.

replaced by a new licence for another vessel whose  features are similar to 
those of the  first vessel.  The owner of the first vessel  shall return the 
cancelled  licence to the Ministry of Commerce, Industry, Tourism and 
Fisheries of Sâo Tome e Principe via the Delegation of the Commission of the 
European Communities responsible  for Sâo Tome e Principe. 

Ao

the date of issue; 

the  fact that this  licence replaces that of the  first vessel, for the 
period of validity  remaining.  In this case, no new  lump sum as laid down 
in paragraph  5 below shall be due. 

The licence must be held on board  at all times. 

2. Licences  shall be valid  for one year  and  shall be renewable.

currencies to be used. 

5. Licences  shall be  issued  following  payment  to the National  Bank of Sào

by the competent  scientific  institutes, namely  the French  Institut de la 
recherche scientifique et technique d'outre-mer  (Orstom) and the  Instituto 
Espanol de Oceanografia  (IEO).  The  statement  shall be  forwarded 
simultaneously  to the competent  authorities of Sào Tome e Principe and to 
the shipowners.  Any additional payment due shall be made by the  shipowners

resulting balance shall not be reimbursable  to the shipowner.

Forms must be completed  legibly and  signed by the master of the vessel. 

8. Every  time they enter or  leave Sào Tome e Principe's  fishing zone, 
Community vessels shall communicate the volume of catch  held on board at 
that time to the radio station on Sâo Tome e Principe.  The call sign shall 
be communicated  to shipowners when the licence is issued. 

A vessel  caught  fishing without having notified the radio of Sào Tome e 
Principe shall be considered  an unlicensed vessel. 

In cases where this radio communication  cannot be used, vessels may use 
alternative means  such as telex or fax. 

9. Tuna seiners shall endeavour on a voluntary  basis to make any  by-catches 
available to the Sâo Tome e Principe authorities at  a price  fixed by mutual 
agreement. 

10. Vessels  shall allow on board observers at the request of the authorities

A brief  report of the circumstances  and  reasons  leading to the boarding must 
be submitted within  72 hours.
