I voted for the new protocol since the proposed amendments seek to improve the way that fishing activities in the Mozambique fishing zone are monitored and controlled, with the aim of increasing the direct economic benefits for the country. The draft promotes responsible and sustainable fishery and encourages the creation of cooperation based on respect for legislation and rules currently in force in both the EU and Mozambique, in the interests of both parties. Furthermore, this agreement does not limit the continued existence of the European fleet’s fishing zone in the Indian Ocean.
