Commission of the European Communities in C0te d’Ivoire, an application for each vessel wishing to fish under the
Agreement.

Applications shall be made on the forms provided for that purpose by C0te d’Ivoire, specimens of which are
attached (Appendix 1).

Each licence application shall be accompanied by proof of payment of the fee for the licence’s term of validity.

The fees shall include all national and local charges except for service charges and port taxes.

The C0te d’Ivoire authorities shall communicate, before the entry into force of the Agreement, all information
concerning the bank accounts to be used for the payment of the fee.

Licences shall be issued for specific vessels and shall not be transferable.

However, in the case of force majeure and at the request of the Commission of the European Communities, a vessel’s
licence may be replaced by a new licence for another vessel with characteristics similar to those of the first vessel.
The owner of the first vessel shall return the cancelled licence to the C0te d’Ivoire fisheries ministry via the
Delegation of the Commission of the European Communities in C0te d’Ivoire.

The new licence shall indicate:

B the date of issue,

B the fact that it invalidates and replaces the licence of the previous vessel.

No fee as laid down in Article 4(2) of the Agreement shall be due for any unexpired period of validity.

1. Licences shall be transmitted by the C0te d’Ivoire authorities to the Delegation of the Commission of the

European Communities in C0te d’Ivoire within 30 days of receipt of the application.

2. The original licence must be held on board at all times and be presented at any time on request of the competent

C0te d’Ivoire authorities.

However, for pole-and-line tuna vessels, tuna seiners and surface longliners, the C0te d’Ivoire authorities 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 authorisation to fish, which is sent to the C0te d’Ivoire
control authorities. 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.

MarGtima (IPIMAR) on the one hand and the Centre de recherche ocØanographique de C0te d’Ivoire (C0te d’Ivoire
oceanographic research centre) on the other. The statement shall be forwarded simultaneously to the C0te d’Ivoire
fishing authorities and to the shipowners. Any additional payment due shall be made by the shipowners to the
C0te d’Ivoire fishing authorities no 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 C0te d’Ivoire authorities shall communicate, before the entry into force of the Agreement, all information

concerning the bank account to be used for the payment of the fees.

C. PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO FREEZER TRAWLERS

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

by-catches available to C0te d’Ivoire dealers at local market prices in accordance with the principles of
free
competition.

In addition, Community tuna vessels shall contribute towards supplying C0te d’Ivoire’s tuna-canning factories at a
price fixed by mutual agreement between Community shipowners and C0te 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 shipowners and the C0te d’Ivoire dealers.

F. FISHING ZONES

1. To protect spawning grounds and local small-scale fishing activities, Community vessels with licences may not

carry out fishing activities as provided for in Article 2 of the Agreement in the following zones:

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

B up to six nautical miles from the coast in the case of freezer trawlers,

B up to the 200-metre isobath in the case of freezer tuna seiners.

2. However, pole-and-line tuna vessels using live bait shall be authorised to fish for bait in the prohibited zone

defined above to obtain bait strictly within the limits of their own requirements.

G. ENTERING AND LEAVING THE ZONE

All vessels shall notify their position and the catch held on board direct to the C0te d’Ivoire authorities, preferably by
fax (225 21 35 04 09) or, for vessels not equipped with a fax, by radio (. . .) or telex (. . .), within three hours of
entering or leaving the C0te d’Ivoire fishing zone and every three days while fishing in C0te d’Ivoire waters.

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

The C0te d’Ivoire authorities and shipowners shall keep a copy of fax communications or a recording of radio
communications until both parties have agreed to the final statement of fees due referred to in section B.

A vessel found to be fishing without having informed the C0te d’Ivoire authorities shall be regarded as a vessel
without a licence.

H. MESH SIZES

The minimum mesh size authorised (mesh fully extended) shall be:

(a) 40 mm for freezer trawlers taking deepwater crustaceans;

(b) 70 mm for freezer trawlers taking cephalopods;

The owners of tuna vessels and surface longliners shall be responsible for employing C0te d’Ivoire nationals, on
the following terms and subject to the following limits:

B for the fleet of pole-and-line tuna vessels, four C0te d’Ivoire seamen shall be signed on during the tuna

fishing period in the C0te d’Ivoire fishing zone, each being assigned to a different vessel,

B for the fleet of tuna seiners, 30 C0te d’Ivoire seamen shall be signed on,

B for the fleet of surface longliners, four C0te d’Ivoire seamen shall be signed on during the tuna fishing period

in the C0te d’Ivoire fishing zone, each being assigned to a different vessel.

The above limits shall not preclude the signing on of additional C0te d’Ivoire seamen at the request of the
shipowners.

The C0te d’Ivoire seamen shall be chosen by the shipowners from among professional seamen recognised by the
competent authorities.

2. The wages of

these seamen shall be fixed, before licences are issued, by mutual agreement between the
shipowners or their representatives and the relevant C0te d’Ivoire authorities; the wages shall be borne by the
shipowners and must include the social contributions to which the seaman is subject (including life assurance and
accident and sickness insurance).

3. Should the seamen not be signed on, owners of pole-and-line tuna vessels, tuna seiners and surface longliners
shall be obliged to pay for the fishing period a lump sum equivalent to the wages of the seamen not signed on.

This sum will be used for the training of seamen in C0te d’Ivoire and is to be paid into the account specified by
the C0te d’Ivoire fishing authorities.

4. Any vessel may receive on board a trainee student on a proposal from the competent C0te d’Ivoire authorities,
subject to the agreement of the vessel’s master. The trainee student shall be accorded the same conditions on
board as those enjoyed by crewmen at the same level, as far as possible. C0te d’Ivoire shall cover subsistence
expenses for this trainee.

J. TAKING ON BOARD OF SCIENTIFIC OBSERVERS

Vessels fishing in the C0te d’Ivoire fishing zone shall take a scientific observer on board at the request of the C0te
d’Ivoire authorities; these observers shall be treated as officers. This applies equally, as far as is possible, to the
quarters assigned to the observer. The time spent on board by the observer shall be fixed by the C0te d’Ivoire
authorities but, as a general rule, it should not exceed the time required to carry out his duties. Once on board, the
observer shall:

B observe the fishing activities of the vessels,

B verify the position of vessels engaged in fishing operations,

B perform biological sampling in the context of scientific programmes,

B note the fishing gear used,

B verify the catch data for the C0te d’Ivoire zone recorded in the logbook.

While on board, observers shall:

B take all appropriate steps to ensure that the conditions under which they are taken on board and their presence

on board do not interrupt or hamper fishing activities,

B respect the material and equipment on board and the confidentiality of all documents belonging to the said

vessel.

B draw up an activity report to be transmitted to the competent C0te d’Ivoire authorities and send a copy to the

Delegation of the European Commission.

The conditions governing his embarkation shall be agreed between the shipowner or his agent and the C0te d’Ivoire
authorities. Owners of trawlers shall pay the C0te d’Ivoire authorities, together with the licence fee, the sum of
EUR 4 per GRT per year pro rata temporis for each vessel fishing in C0te d’Ivoire waters. This sum shall be paid
into the account specified by the C0te d’Ivoire fishing authorities. Owners of tuna seiners, pole-and-line tuna vessels
and surface longliners shall pay the C0te d’Ivoire Government EUR 10 per month for each observer taken on board.
Shipowners who are unable to take observers aboard and put them off at a C0te d’Ivoire port agreed by mutual
agreement with the C0te d’Ivoire authorities shall bear the cost of taking the observers aboard and putting them
ashore.

27.2.2001

EN

Official Journal of the European Communities

C 62 E/93

If the observer is not present at the time and place agreed and during the twelve hours following the time agreed,
shipowners shall be automatically absolved of their obligation to take the observer on board.

The salary and the social contributions of the observer shall be borne by the relevant C0te d’Ivoire authorities.

K.

INSPECTION AND MONITORING

At the request of the C0te d’Ivoire authorities, Community vessels operating within the Agreement shall permit and
facilitate the boarding and fulfilment of the tasks of C0te d’Ivoire officials responsible for the inspection and
monitoring of fishing activities.

These officials should not remain on board any longer than the time required to carry out their duties.

L. BOARDING OF VESSELS

1. The Delegation of the European Commission in C0te d’Ivoire shall be notified within three working days of any
boarding within the C0te d’Ivoire fishing zone of a fishing vessel flying the flag of a Member State of the
Community and operating under this Agreement. The Delegation shall at the same time receive a brief report of
the circumstances and reasons leading to the boarding.

2. Before any measures regarding the master or the crew of the vessel or any action regarding the cargo and
equipment of the vessel are considered, other than those to safeguard evidence relating to the presumed
infringement, a consultation meeting shall be held, within one working day from the receipt of the abovemen-
tioned information, between the Delegation of the Commission of the European Communities in C0te d’Ivoire,
the fisheries authorities and the inspection authorities, possibly attended by a representative of the Member State
concerned. At the meeting, the parties shall exchange any relevant documentation or information helping to
clarify the circumstances of the established facts. The shipowner or his representative shall be informed of the
outcome of the meeting and of any measures resulting from the boarding.

3. Before any judicial procedure, an attempt shall be made to resolve the presumed infringement through a

compromise procedure. This procedure shall end no later than three working days after the boarding.

4. Should the case not be settled by means of compromise, and the master therefore be brought before a competent
C0te d’Ivoire judicial body, a reasonable bank security shall be fixed by the competent authority within two
working days, following the conclusion of the compromise procedure, pending the judicial decision. The bank
security shall be released by the competent authority once the master of the vessel concerned has been acquitted
by the judicial decision.

5. The vessel and its crew shall be released either:

B at the end of the consultation meeting, if the established facts permit, or

B on receipt of payment of a fine (compromise procedure), or

B once a bank security is deposited (judicial proceedings).

6. Should one of the Parties consider that there is a problem in the application of the above procedure, it may

request urgent consultations.
