Article 1 
1. A specific measure is hereby introduced for the grant of an indemnity to fishermen who are nationals of a Member State and who are entered on the books of a fishing vessel flying the flag of the Kingdom of Spain or the Portuguese Republic and who have had to suspend their fishing activities in waters under the sovereignty or jurisdiction of Morocco. 2. The indemnity is intended for fishermen from those Member States, in order to help minimize, pending the outcome of the negotiations in progress on a new fisheries agreement, the loss of income they are suffering as a result of the total suspension of their fishing activities in the waters under the sovereignty or jurisdiction of Morocco. Article 2 1. The indemnity shall be granted from 1 May 1995 up to the date on which fishing activities recommence under a new agreement with the Kingdom of Morocco and up to 31 December 1995 at the latest. 2. The amount of the indemnity paid by the Member States to the fishermen shall not exceed ECU 454 per man per month for the period 1 May to 31 August 1995 and ECU 620 per man per month for the period 1 September to 31 December 1995. The financial contribution from the Community shall not exceed 75 % of the amounts actually paid. Only fishermen employed on board vessels which have had to suspend all fishing activities as a result of the failure to renew the Fisheries Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Morocco shall be eligible for the indemnity. The maximum number of fishermen qualifying for the standby indemnity is estimated at 7 402, comprising 6 285 in Spain and 1 117 in Portugal. 3. Payment of the Community contribution shall be subject to the actual suspension of activities by vessels and their crews during the indemnity period. Article 3 The period of inactivity of Spanish and Portuguese fishing vessels which are entitled to the indemnity provided for in this Decision shall be taken into consideration as days on which a fishing activity has been carried on within the meaning of point 1.1 of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 3699/93, within the limit of the number of days on which those vessels have carried on a fishing activity, under the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Morocco, during the same period in 1994. Article 4 The Member States concerned shall forward to the Commission the programme of assistance containing details of the indemnity arrangements. The Commission shall approve the programme after considering its conformity with this Decision and the Community provisions concerning the Financial Instrument for Fisheries Guidance. Article 5 This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic. Done at Luxembourg, 26 October 1995. For the Council The President L. ATIENZA SERNA
