average. 

2.  Furthermore  fishing  licences may  also be granted  for tuna  trollers 

and surface tuna longliners. 

3.  These  fishing  possibilities  may,  at  the  Community's  request,  be

(a) The Commission of the European Communities  shall present to the 
authorities  of  Mauritius  via  the  representative  of  the 
Commission  of  the  European  Communities  in  Mauritius  an 
application, made by the shipowner, for each vessel that wishes 
to  fish under this Agreement, at  least  20 days before  the date 
of  commencement  of  the  period  of  validity  requested.  The 
application  shall  be  made  on  the  forms  provided  for  that 
purpose by Mauritius, a specimen of which  is annexed hereto. 

(b) Every  licence  shall  be  issued  to  the  shipowner  for  one

(c) The licences shall be delivered by the authorities of Mauritius 
to  the  representative  of  the  Commission  of  the  European 
Communities in Mauritius. 

(d) The  licence document must be held on board  at all times. 

However, on  receipt  of the  notification  of  the  advance  payment 
sent  by  the  Commission  of  the  European  Communities  to  the 
Mauritian  authorities, the  vessel  will  be  included  on  a  list, 
to be  notified  to the Mauritian  fisheries  control  authorities. 
Whilst  awaiting  receipt  of the  licence document, a  fax  copy of 
this  licence  document  may  be  obtained  and  shall  be  kept  on 
board,  which  will  authorioe  the  vessel  to  fish,  pending 
delivery on board of  the  licence document. 

(e) The authorities  of  Mauritius  shall  communicate  before  the date 
of  entry  into  force  of  the  agreement  the  arrangements  for 
payments of the  licence  fees,  and  in particular  the details of 
the bank account and the currency to be used.

(a) Licences  shall  be  valid  for  a  period  of  one  year.  They  are 

renewable. 

(b) For  tuna  seiners,  the  fees  shall  be  set  at  ECU  20  |M»r tonne 
caught  within  the  waters  of  Mauritius.  Applications  tor 
licences  for  tuna  vessels  shall  be  issued  following  advance* 
payment to Mauritius of a  lump sum of ECU  1,000  a year  for each 
tuna  seiner,  equivalent  to  the  fees  for  50  tonnes  of  tuna 
caught within the waters of Mauritius per year. 

(c) For  small  tuna  trollers  and  surface  tuna  longliners  mentioned

issued  following  advance  payment  to Mauritius of  a  lump sum of 
ECU  500 per year per vessel, equivalent  to the  fees due  for 25 
tonnes of tuna caught  in Mauritian waters per year. 

(d) A  provisional  statement  of  the  fees  due  for  the  fishing  year 
shall be drawn up by the Commission of the European  Communities 
at  the  end  of  each  calendar  year  on  the  basis  of  the  catch 
statements  made  by  the  shipowners  and  forwarded  simultaneously 
to  the  authorities  of  Mauritius  and  the  Commission  of  the» 
European Communities. The corresponding  amount  shall be paid by 
the  shipowners  to  the  Treasury  of  Mauritius  no  later  than  31 
March  of  the  following  year.  The  final  statement  of  the  fees 
due  in  respect  of  a  fishing  year  shall  be  drawn  up  by  the 
Commission  of  the  European  Communities,  taking  into  account 
available scientific opinion and any statistical data which can

any  international  fishing  organisations  in  the  Indian  Ocean. 
The  shipowners  shall  be  notified  by  the  Commission  of  the 
European Communities of the statement and shall have 30 days in 
which to meet their  financial obligations. If the amount of the 
sum due  for actual  fishing  operations  is  less than the  advance 
payment,  the  corresponding  outstanding  sum  shall  not  be 
recoverable by the shipowner. 

Validity of  licences and payment provisions for others vessels 

For vessels  fishing  by  line  (except  tuna  trollers  and  tuna  surface 
longliners),  licences  shall  be  valid  for  three,  six  or  twelve 
months.  The  annual  fees  shall  be  fixed  in  relation  to  the  GRT  as 
follows  : ECU 60 per GRT pro rata temporis. 

K\ 

\1 

Observers 

All  vessels  above  50 GRT  shall, at  the  request  of  the» authoritie»n 
of  Mauritius,  take  on  board  an  observer  designated  by  these 
authorities  in  order  to  check  catches  made  in  the  waters  of 
Mauritius.  Observers  shall  have  all  facilities  necessary  for  the 
performance of this duty  including  access to places  and documents. 
An  observer  must  not  be  present  for  longer  than  the  time  required 
to fulfil his duties. They  shall be provided with suitable  food and 
accomodation  while  on  board.  Should  a  vessel  with  a  Mauritian 
observer on board  leave the waters of Mauritius, every  step will be 
taken  to  ensure  tat  the  observer  returns  to  Mauritius  as  soon  as 
possible, at the shipowner's expense. 

Radio communication  and  reporting 

Vessels  above  50 GRT  shall  communicate, when  entering  and  leaving 
Mauritian waters, and, every three days, while  fishing  in Mauritian 
waters,  to  a  radio  station  (the  name,  call  sign  and  frequency  of 
which  shall  be  specified  in  the  licence)  or  by  fax  (nr 
230-208-1929), their position and the volume of catches on board. 

The captains of all vessels  including vessels  fishing by line shall 
complete  a  fishing  report  form  which  will  indicate  the  date,  the 
vessel's  position,  and  the  quantity  and  species  of  fish  caught. 
Tuna vessels shall also provide the number of sets and the quantity 
of  tuna  caught  per  species. These  forms  shall  be  forwarded  to  the 
Authorities  of  Mauritius  not  later  than  three  weeks  after  each 
fishing  campaign. However,  in the  case of vessels  fishing  by  line, 
tuna  trollers  and  tuna  surface  longliners,  these  reports  shall  be 
sent not later than one month after the end of each quarter. 

6.  Fishing  zones 

Tuna seiners, tuna trollers and tuna surface  longliners may  fish in 
the  waters  of  Mauritius  except  within  a  distance  of  12  nautical 
miles measured  from  the baseline. Vessels  fishing  by  line are only 
authorised  to fish  in their traditional grounds, namely Soudan  Bank 
and East Soudan Bank. 

Supply to the Tuna Canning  Industry 

Community  tuna vessels  shall  endeavour  to sell  part of  their  catch 
to  the  Mauritian  tuna  canning  industry  at  a  price  to  be  fixed  in 
common agreement between Community  shipowners and the owners of the 
Mauritian  tuna canning  industry.
