The infusion of sustainability into bilateral fisheries agreements with developing countries: The European Union example

Author

Abstract

The EU's bilateral fishing policy towards developing third countries has evolved over the years to increasingly emphasise sustainability, culminating in 2002 with the release of a 'fisheries partnership approach'. The Community has begun to operationalise the policy in various West African coastal states, where its new fisheries partnership agreements are intended to function as 'development vectors'. This paper introduces the EU's new policy, examines its potential implications for the role of sustainability in future bilateral fishing relations and highlights the impetus for it with reference to analysis of the EU's most recent agreement with Senegal based on empirical research.
