Overview
Status: Dormant
The European Union and Mozambique signed a fisheries agreement in 1987.
The most recent protocol ended on 31 January 2015.
A dormant agreement means that the partnership exists, but there is no active protocol. As a result, with no rules on catches and contributions, the EU fleet cannot fish in Mozambique waters. This also applies to direct licencing, in line with the agreement’s exclusivity clause and the common fisheries policy article 31(5).
However, dormant agreements can still be used for discussions and cooperation on fisheries issues.
