The European Parliament's Committee on Fisheries (PECH) will vote on 24 May on the proposal for a new protocol of the EU-Mauritius Sustainable Fisheries Partnership Agreement (SFPA). During the debate in this committee on 28 March, some members highlighted the lack of transparency regarding the use of sectoral support funds in the previous protocol and asked the European Commission to further examine the needs of the local artisanal fisheries sector. The protocol already provisionally entered into force in 2022, but the Commission is still discussing with Mauritius the priorities and actions to be financed by the sectoral support. "It is clear that artisanal fisheries will be among the beneficiaries," remarked Emmanuel Berck of DG MARE. Artisanal fishers face many challenges: bad weather, overfishing in the lagoons, competition with other fleets and other sectors of the blue economy, administrative difficulties.
