EC/Solomon Islands Fisheries Partnership Agreement

This dossier concerns the EC/Solomon Islands Fisheries Partnership Agreement. The amendments call for reports documenting a surplus of tuna stocks to be made public, for local, sustainable artisanal fisheries and fish-processing, and for the European Parliament to be kept informed during negotiations; they deplore the failure of the previous agreement's Joint Committee and sectoral support, the absence of total tuna catch limits, and access to overfished bigeye and yellowfin tuna.
