With regard to the financial contribution, even though it does not represent an enormous outlay for the Community purse, it represents a welcome financial injection for the Solomon Islands' fisheries budget, particularly bearing in mind that 30% will be set aside for the development of a fisheries plan to guarantee responsible fishing.

Nevertheless, despite the fact that this is an agreement which has been negotiated under the new model of association agreements, and even though it offered an opportunity to correct the mistakes of the past, it is regrettable that certain bad habits have reappeared and others have been newly acquired.

It might be asked whether the Commission's intention with these 'à la carte' increases, coming on top of the many 'extras' to be paid by shipowners which accumulate in the various agreements, is in fact to discourage the Community fleet from operating in some areas; one might also ask who might benefit from this.

Creating a fishing business in a third country involves a series of costs, which are extremely high in the case of tuna firms owing to the high price of vessels.

If there are no guarantees as to the profitability and stability of this investment, shipowners will eventually abandon an instrument which has been extraordinarily beneficial in boosting the creation of fishing industries in third countries, so that it will be the third country itself which will suffer most.

In an age of satellite communications, it is far from clear what role agents can possibly play in the context of a fisheries agreement, apart from the obligation to have yet another intermediary whose cost often exceeds the cost of the licence and whose attitude and know-how often leaves much to be desired.

The Commission itself has recognised that the need for agents is more than debatable, and this provision should therefore be revised within the framework of the first joint committee rather than through a fresh protocol.

The committee is disappointed that the signature of a new agreement has not been seen as an opportunity to correct errors which have repeatedly been highlighted by both the industry and Parliament, and that in many cases it contributes to a worsening of the situation, and considers that in the majority of cases this can be attributed to the Commission itself.

EL on Vaikse ookeani lääneosas sõlminud kokku kolm kalanduslepingut – Kiribatiga (praegu kehtiv), Saalomoni Saartega (käesoleva arvamuse objekt) ja Mikroneesia Liiduriikidega (praegu ELi eri institutsioonides heakskiitmisel).
The EU has negotiated a total of three fisheries agreements with the island states in the Western Pacific - Kiribati (currently in force), the Solomon Islands (the subject of the present opinion) and Federated States of Micronesia (currently also being approved by the EU machinery).
Leping Saalomoni Saartega on uus leping, mitte kehtiva protokolli kehtivuse pikendamine.
The agreement with the Solomon Islands is a new one, not the renewal of an existing protocol.
See võimaldab neljal seineril ja kümnel triivõngejadadega kalapüügilaeval tegutseda Saalomoni Saarte vetes kolm aastat alates heakskiitmise menetluste lõppemisest.
It allows for four purse seine vessels and ten longliners to operate in the waters of the Solomon Islands for a period of three years, beginning when the approval procedures are completed.
Kui kalavarude olukord on soodne, võib teisel aastal seinerite arvu suurendada.
If the status of the stocks is favourable, the number of purse seiners can be increased during the second year.
Rahaliseks hüvitiseks on määratud 400 000 eurot aastas, aga kui seinerite arv suureneb, suureneb ka hüvitis 65 000 euro võrra iga laeva kohta.
The financial compensation is fixed at EUR 400.000 per year, but if the number of purse seiners increases then the compensation increases by EUR 65.000 per vessel.
Selle summa eest võivad EU laevad püüda kala 6000 tonni aastas; kui püütakse rohkem, lisandub 65 eurot iga tonni kohta.
For that amount, the EU vessels can catch a total of 6.000 tonnes per year; if catches exceed that then the payment is increased by EUR 65 per tonne.

Muud lepingu aspektid on tüüpilised, kuigi leping ei ole koostatud kalanduse partnerluslepingu uue ega vana vormi kohaselt, vaid on nende vahepealne vorm.
Other aspects of the agreement are typical, although it is mid-way between the old style of fisheries agreements and the new style of fisheries partnership agreements.
Näiteks on selles kalapüügi partnerlepingute eeskujul kasutusele võetud mitmeaastane valdkonnaprogramm, et soodustada vastutustundlikku kalapüüki (30% rahalisest koguhüvitisest).
For instance, it adopts the approach of a multiannual sectoral programme to encourage responsible fishing (30% of the total financial compensation), as FPAs do.
Ühiskomisjon töötab välja iga-aastased ja mitmeaastased suunised raha kulutamiseks, samuti kriteeriumid ja menetlused aastatulemuste hindamiseks.
A Joint Committee will develop annual and multiannual guidelines for spending the money, as well as criteria and procedures for evaluating the results obtained each year.
See võib tunduda positiivse arenguna, kuid tegelikult saab süsteemi tõhusust hinnata alles siis, kui see on olnud kasutusel paar aastat.
While this seems like a positive development, its actual effectiveness can only be judged after it has been in effect for a few years.
Teisest küljest ei ole olemas ainuõiguse eriklauslit, mis takistaks ELi lipu all sõitvatel laevadel tegutsemast Saalomoni Saarte piirkonnas lepingu tingimusi järgimata.
On the other hand, there is no specific exclusivity clause to prevent EU-flagged vessels operating in the Solomon Isalnds outside the terms of the agreement.
Lepinguga püütakse samuti julgustada ühisettevõtete loomist ja ilmselt "ühenduse laevade üleandmist ühisettevõtetele".
The agreement also seeks to encourage the creation of joint ventures and, apparently, "the transfer of Community vessels to joint enterprises".
Võttes arvesse, et laevade eksportimiseks ELi struktuurifondidest enam toetusi anda ei saa, paneb mõtlema, mida sellega on tahetud öelda.
Given that subsidies for the export of vessels is no longer possible under the EU structural funds, one has to wonder what is meant by this.
Kas partnerluslepingutega tahetakse luua uus vahend, mille abil saab ELi laevu eksportida?
Are partnership agreements intended to create another means for the export of EU vessels?
Kuna EL ei ole selles riigis varem ametlikult tegutsenud, ei saa anda mingit tegevuse järelhinnangut, vaid tuleb leppida lühikese eelhinnanguga.
Since there is no history of official EU involvement in the country upon which to base any ex post evaluation, there is only a short ex ante evaluation.
Eelhinnangu kohaselt peaks EL saama lepingust olulist rahalist kasu, isegi kuni 1,25 miljonit eurot, ning Saalomoni Saared saaksid umbes 815 000 eurot olenevalt sellest, kui palju EL seal kala püüab.
According to that, the EU should derive a significant financial benefit, an added value of up to EUR 1.25 million, while the Solomon Islands would benefit to the tune of EUR 815.000, depending on the amount of EU fishing.
Lõpuks paar sõna lepingu keskkonnamõjust.
Finally, a word on the environmental impact of the agreement.
Teatavate kalapüügitoimingute tulemusena püüavad seinerid sageli suures koguses noori suursilm-tuunikalu.
Purse seiners tend to catch quantities of juvenile bigeye tuna in certain types of fishing operations.
Ka Vaikse ookeani lääne- ja keskosa kalakomisjoni viimasel teaduslikul kohtumisel 2005. aasta augustis jõuti järeldusele, et kulduim-tuuni on tõenäoliselt ülepüütud, kuigi praegu veel ei ole selle varud kriitilise piirini jõudnud.
Further, at the most recent scientific meeting of the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission, in August 2005, it was concluded that yellowfin tuna was probably being over-fished, although the status of the stock was not yet problematic.
Seetõttu tuleb ELi kalalaevade lisandumise mõju hoolikalt jälgida, sest varude ülepüüdmisel on lepingust saadavale rahalisele ja muule kasule otsesed tagajärjed.
For these reasons, the impact of the addition of fishing vessels by the EU needs to be carefully monitored, for if the stocks are over-exploited, there are obvious consequences for the benefits, financial and otherwise, of the agreement.
Komisjoni ettepanek
Text proposed the Commission
Komisjon peaks igal aastal parlamendile aru andma, et saaks hinnata, kas ELi makstud hüvitis on õigesti arvestatud ning edendab tegelikult kalavarude säästvat kasutust Saalomoni Saartel.
In order to evaluate whether the compensation paid by the EU is properly accounted for and does in fact promote the sustainable use of fishery resources in the Solomon Islands, the Commission should report annually to Parliament.
Enne uute läbirääkimiste alustamist on oluline hinnata praegu kehtivat protokolli, et määrata kindlaks, milliseid muudatusi protokolli sisse viia selle võimaliku pikendamise korral.
An evaluation of the current protocol is necessary before new negotiations begin in order to know what changes, if any, should be included in any possible renewal.

ARENGUKOMISJONI ARVAMUS
OPINION of the Committee on dEVELOPMENT
Liidu arengukoostöö poliitika ja ühine kalanduspoliitika (CFP) peavad olema järjepidevad, üksteist täiendavad ja koordineeritud, et nad saaksid üheskoos kaasa aidata asjaomastes riikides vaesuse vähendamisele ning säästvale arengule.
The Union's development co-operation policy and the common fisheries policy (CFP) must be consistent, complementary and co-ordinated, contributing together to poverty reduction in the countries concerned and to sustainable development.
EL on pühendunud eesmärgile tagada kogu maailmas säästev kalandus, nagu sätestati Johannesburgi tippkohtumisel, säilitades ja taastades varusid nii, et oleks võimalik tagada maksimaalne säästlik toodang.
The EU has committed itself to ensure the sustainable character of fisheries worldwide, defined at the Johannesburg summit, maintaining or restoring stock levels with a view to producing the maximum sustainable yield.
