The Agreement on fishing between the EEC and Senegal was concluded for a
period of two years with a clause providing for automatic renewal subject to
adaptation of the Annexes or the Protocol establishing the volume of fishing
rights and the level of compensation .
As neither contracting party has terminated it , the Agreement is still in force .
Pending the conclusion of the negotiations on the terms for the Agreement 's
further application , the two delegations have agreed on an interim extension for
three months on the previous terms , thus ensuring that Community fishermen will
be able to continue their activities .
The fishing rights used up and the compensation payable under these interim
arrangements will have to be taken into account in any definitive arrangements
resulting from the current negotiations .
