Translation of "Tuna fisher-seiner-freezer " (English → French) :

During the period 2007-2009, the rate of available licences drawn was 45% for the freezer finfish and cephalopod opportunities, 36% for shrimp, 76% for tuna pole and line and 83% for tuna purse seiners (no surface longline licences were drawn), with the demersal fishing opportunities in particular being poorly utilised.

At the time the annual flat-rate fee is paid, owners of freezer tuna seiners and pole-and-line vessels shall also pay the DPSP a flat-rate sum of EUR 400 per vessel for the proper functioning of the observer programme.

The new system, which provides fishing rights for vessels flying the flags of Member States of the enlarged Community, applies to vessels which have traditionally fished these waters, that is to say French, Italian, Greek, Spanish and Portuguese vessels, as follows: - - 11 000 GRT for trawlers (fin fish, cephalopods and shrimps) with the possibility of increasing this by successive instalments of 1 000 GRT - 45 freezer tuna boats (seiners) - 25 wet pole-and-line tuna vessels - 6 longliners (swordfish).

Under the Protocol it will be possible for 40 freezer tuna purse seiners from the Community and eight pole-and-line tuna vessels or surface longliners from the Community to continue to operate off Sao Tome and Principe.

Gambia's exclusive economic zone, though of limited area given the country's minimal coastline, offers the same multiplicity of species as its enveloping neighbour, Senegal, with which the Community has initialled a fisheries agreement to cover the period 1 October 1986 to 28 February 1988, and where French, Spanish, Italian and Greek fleets in particular are engaged in fishing activities/.ANNEX 1 The Protocol provides for the following fishing opportunities: - Freezer tuna seiners: 48,500 GRT - Pole-and-line tuna vessels: 2,900 GRT (with possibility of increase to 3,500 GRT) Longliners (swordfish): 1,200 GRT Trawlers, fresh fish: 7,000 ...[+++]GRT Other vessels, fresh crustaceans: 570 GRT (at the request of the Community) Freezer shrimp trawlers: 2,325 GRT (with possibility of increase to 2,575 Freezer trawlers Freezer trawlers, other species: 10,500 GRT In order to protect fisheries resources in the Gambian zone, the agreement limits the trawler fleet's activities, setting the total number of fishing days at 1 900 for fresh fish and 3 100 for freezer trawlers, corresponding to an average of almost 65 days per vessel per year.
