ities shall, upon receipt of notification from the Commission of the European Communities that
advance payment has been made, enter the vessel concerned in the list of vessels with authorization to
fish, which is sent to the control authority of C(cid:147)te d’Ivoire. Pending receipt of the original of the
licence, a copy of the licence that has been drawn up may be issued by fax to be held on board the
vessel.

5. Trawlers authorized under Article 2 of the Agreement must notify the competent C(cid:147)te d’Ivoire author-
ities of any changes to the characteristics of a vessel as entered on the licence when issued and as

2. The fee shall be set at ECU 20 per tonne of fish caught within the C(cid:147)te d’Ivoire fishing zone.

4. The final statement of the fees due for the fishing period 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
each shipowner and confirmed by the scientific institutes responsible for verifying catch data such as
the French Office de la recherche scientifique et technique d’outre-mer (Orstom) and the Instituto
Espa ˜nol de Oceanografia (IEO) on the one hand and the Centre de recherche oc(cid:130)anologique de C(cid:147)te
d’Ivoire (C(cid:147)te d’Ivoire oceanological research centre) on the other. The statement shall be forwarded
simultaneously to the sea-fishing services of C(cid:147)te d’Ivoire and to the shipowners. Any additional
payment due shall be made by the shipowners to the C(cid:147)te d’Ivoire fishing services not later than 30
days after notification of the final statement.

However, if the amount of the final statement is lower than the abovementioned advance, the resulting
balance shall not be reimbursable to the shipowner.

5. The authorities of C(cid:147)te d’Ivoire shall give notice, before the Agreement enters into force, of the ar-

rangements for payment of the fees, including information on bank accounts.

C. Provisions applicable to licences for freezer trawlers

1. In the case of freezer trawlers, licences shall be valid for three, six or twelve months. They shall be

renewable.

2. The annual fee shall be fixed at the rate of ECU 140 per GRT per vessel.

respectively.

D. Statements of catch

1. Vessels authorised to fish in the C(cid:147)te d’Ivoire fishing zone under this Agreement shall send their
statements of catch to the sea-fishing services with a copy to the Delegation of the Commission of the
European Communities in C(cid:147)te d’Ivoire, as follows:

(a) trawlers shall notify their catches using the form given in Appendix 2. These statements shall be

monthly and must be communicated at least once every three months;

(b) for tuna seiners, pole-and-line tuna vessels and surface longliners a fishing log shall be kept, in
accordance with the model in Appendix 3 in the case of surface longliners and Appendix 4 in the
case of seiners and pole-and-line vessels for each fishing period spent in the C(cid:147)te d’Ivoire fishing
zone; details shall be entered even where there in no catch.

The form shall either be collected in port by the relevant departments of the Centre de recherche oc(cid:130)a-
nologique de C(cid:147)te d’Ivoire or sent to the same department within 45 days of the end of the fishing trip
spent in the C(cid:147)te d’Ivoire fishing zone.

Copies shall be sent to the scientific institutes referred to in paragraph 4 of section B above.

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

2. Should these provisions not be adhered to, the C(cid:147)te d’Ivoire authorities reserve the right to suspend
the licence of the offending vessel until the required formality has been complied with. In this case,
the Delegation of the Commission of the European Communities in C(cid:147)te d’Ivoire shall be informed
without delay.

E. Landing of catches

Tuna vessels and surface longliners landing their catches in a C(cid:147)te d’Ivoire port shall, wherever possible,

In addition, Community tuna vessels shall contribute towards supplying the C(cid:147)te d’Ivoire’s tuna-canning
factories at a price fixed by mutual agreement between the Community shipowners and C(cid:147)te d’Ivoire
dealers on the basis of current prices on the international market. Payment shall be made in convertible
currency. The landing schedule must be drawn up by mutual agreement between the Community ship-
owners and the C(cid:147)te d’Ivoire dealers.

— up to twelve nautical miles from the coast in the case of surface longliners and pole-and-line tuna

vessels,

— up to six nautical miles from the coast in the case of freezer trawlers,
— up to the 200-metre isobath in the case of freezer tuna seiners.

waters.

Vessels shall be informed of the relevant fax number and radio frequency when the fishing licence is
issued.

The authorities of C(cid:147)te d’Ivoire and the shipowners shall keep a copy of fax communications or a record-

vessel without a licence.

H. Authorised mesh sizes

(a) 40 mm for freezer trawlers taking deepwater crustaceans;
(b) 70 mm for freezer trawlers taking cephalopods;
(c) 60 mm for freezer trawlers taking fish;
(d) in the case of tuna, the international standards recommended by ICCAT shall apply.

I. Signing-on of seamen

Owners of vessels which have been granted licences as provided by the Agreement shall contribute to the
practical vocational training of C(cid:147)te d’Ivoire nationals, on the following terms and subject to the follow-

— one seaman for vessels under 250 GRT,
— two seamen for vessels between 250 and 300 GRT,
— three seamen for vessels over 300 GRT.

The owners of tuna vessels and surface longliners shall be responsible for employing C(cid:147)te d’Ivoire
nationals, on the following terms and subject to the following limits:

— for the fleet of pole-and-line tuna vessels, four C(cid:147)te d’Ivoire seamen shall be signed on during the
tuna fishing period in the C(cid:147)te d’Ivoire fishing zone, each being assigned to a different vessel,

— for the fleet of tuna seiners, 30 C(cid:147)te d’Ivoire seamen shall be signed on,
— for the fleet of surface longliners, four C(cid:147)te d’Ivoire seamen shall be signed on during the fishing

period in the C(cid:147)te d’Ivoire fishing zone, each being assigned to a different vessel.

The above limits shall not preclude the signing on of additional C(cid:147)te d’Ivoire seamen at the request of
the shipowners.

The C(cid:147)te d’Ivoire seamen shall be chosen by the shipowners from among professional seamen recog-
nised by the competent authorities.

2. The wages of these seamen shall be fixed, before licences are issued, by mutual agreement between the

seamen not signed on.

This sum will be used for the training of seamen in C(cid:147)te d’Ivoire and is to be paid into the account
specified by the C(cid:147)te d’Ivoire fishing authorities.

4. Any vessel may receive on board a trainee student on a proposal from the competent C(cid:147)te d’Ivoire
authorities, subject to the agreement of the vessel’s master. The C(cid:147)te d’Ivoire Government shall cover
subsistence expenses for this trainee.

J. Taking on board of scientific observers

Any vessel fishing in C(cid:147)te d’Ivoire waters must agree to take on board a scientific observer if requested to
do so by the relevant C(cid:147)te d’Ivoire authorities.

On board, the observer shall be accorded the same conditions as those enjoyed by officers of the vessel.
This applies equally, as far as is possible, to the quarters assigned to the observer. Similarly, as far as
possible, he shall be offered every facility needed to carry out his duties. The work of the observer and the
conditions under which he is taken on board must not interrupt or hamper fishing activities.

The salary and the social contributions of the observer shall be borne by the relevant C(cid:147)te d’Ivoire au-
thorities.

As a contribution to the costs arising from the presence of the observer on board, owners of trawlers shall
pay the C(cid:147)te d’Ivoire authorities, together with the licence fee, the sum of ECU 4 per GRT per year pro
rata temporis for each vessel fishing in C(cid:147)te d’Ivoire waters. This sum shall be paid into the account

whose flag the vessel flies.

The circumstances and reasons which led to the seizure or detention shall be brought to the attention of
the Delegation of the Commission of the European Communities in C(cid:147)te d’Ivoire.
