is  received  of  payment  of  the  advance  by  the  European  Commission  to  the 
Angolan  authorities  and  the  list  shall  then  be  communicated  to  the  Angolan 
authorities  responsible  for  supervising  fisheries.  Pending  receipt  of the  licence, 
a  copy  may  be  obtained  by  fax  and  should  be  kept  on  board. 

(f) 

Licences  shall  be valid  for  a minimum  period  of  one  month  and  be  renewable.

specimen  contained  in  Appendix  6.

8.  FRAUD PREVENTION  MEASURES; RESULTS  OF MEASURES  TAKEN: 

Since  the  financial  contributions  are  made  by  the  Community  in  direct  exchange  for  the  fishing  possibilities 
offered,  the  third  country  uses  them  for  whatever  end  it  chooses.  The  exception  to  this  rule  is  the  case  of 
programmes, such as the scientific  programmes, where under the dispositions of the Agreement,  Mauritania will 
furnish  reports to the  Community. 

In addition,  the Member States whose vessels operate under  this Agreement  must certify  to the Commission  the 
exactitude  of  the  data  indicated  in  the  tonnage  certificates  of  the  vessels  so  that  the  licence  fees  may  be 
calculated  on  a  guaranteed  basis.  To 
for 
Community vessels. 

includes  catch  declarations 

the  Agreement 

that  end, 

9.  ELEMENTS  OF COST-EFFECTIVENESS  ANALYSIS: 

In terms of the benefits  of this agreement,  it  is clear that the value of the catches of the main  commercial  species  far 
exceeds the cost of  40,05  MECU. 
In addition  to  the direct  commercial  value  of  the catches of  the vessels concerned,  there  are  the  following  evident 
benefits  from  this Agreement: 

guaranteed  employment  aboard  the fishing  vessels; 

multiplier employment effect  in the ports, auctions rooms, processing factories, shipyards, service industries, etc. ; 

these employment  opportunities  are in regions where no other opportunities  are available; 

contribution  to the supply  of fish to the  Community. 

Obviously,  in addition  to those benefits,  one must take account of the importance of our relations with Angola  in the 
fisheries field and our overall  political  relations. 

10.  ADMINISTRATrVE EXPENDITURE  (part A of  the budget): 

No  incidence on administrative  expenditure.
