Durante el período parcial de sesiones de octubre I, el Parlamento tiene previsto someter a votación un acuerdo provisional con el Consejo sobre las medidas de ordenación de la pesca del atún adoptadas por la Comisión del Atún para el Océano Índico (CAOI). Como parte contratante de esta organización, la UE debe transponer estas medidas al Derecho de la Unión para que se apliquen a todos los buques de la Unión.

The Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC) is an intergovernmental fisheries management organisation responsible for tuna and tuna-like fish stocks in the Indian Ocean. As a contracting party, the European Union must transpose its decisions into EU law, insofar as they are not already covered by it. In March 2021, the European Commission presented a proposal for a new regulation dedicated to the transposition of IOTC rules.

Harnessing the oceans' resources in a sustainable manner is the 'new frontier of the African renaissance', according to the African Union (AU). This 'blue growth' will only materialise if the oceans' health and security at sea are restored. For this purpose, the AU has designed an ambitious maritime strategy, but disagreements among the African states are hampering its realisation. The EU could support this strategy, provided cooperation goes beyond security and migration aspects.

Lying in the middle of the Indian Ocean, India relies heavily on the ocean for its energy and trade, but also faces both conventional and non-conventional security challenges which the ocean presents. At the same time, its operational theatre is widening to include a bigger geopolitical region: the Indo-Pacific, including the South China Sea. Alongside this broadening horizon, India needs to reckon with an emerging actor: China. Not only has Beijing's military presence in the Indian Ocean increased ...

In July 2016, the Council adopted a decision authorising the Commission to begin negotiations, on behalf of the EU, for the conclusion of a fisheries agreement and protocol with Kenya. The negotiations are planned for the coming months. This would be the first ever EU fisheries agreement with Kenya, and would complement the regional network of agreements previously concluded in the western Indian Ocean (Seychelles, Madagascar, Mozambique, Comoros and Mauritius).

Since 1980, the EU has set up a network of bilateral fisheries agreements, providing fishing opportunities for the EU fleet in the waters of third countries. These agreements were concluded with countries in West Africa (1980-1998), in the western Indian Ocean (1984-1989), and in the western-central Pacific (2003-2007). Over the past few years, the European Commission has considered the possibility of expanding EU fleet access to new partner countries’ waters in the three regions. These fishing opportunities ...

Las regiones ultraperiféricas europeas, entre las que figura la Reunión, son importantes proveedoras de pescado y marisco para los europeos. Sin embargo, la pesca desempeña un papel primordial en la economía de las regiones insulares. Debido a su ubicación y a la escasa variedad de actividades en las que pueden mantener una ventaja competitiva, estos alejados territorios se enfrentan a dificultades específicas en lo que respecta a su desarrollo económico. Se espera que la reciente modificación de ...
