Gentlemen,

For the extension of the Protocol currently in force (1 July 2000 to

30 June 2003) setting out the fishing opportunities and financial

contribution provided for in the Fisheries Agreement between the

European Economic Community and the Government of the Republic of

CĮte d'Ivoire, and pending the negotiations on the amendments to be

made to the Protocol, I have the honour to confirm that we agree to

the following interim arrangements:

1. The period of validity of the arrangements applicable over the

last three years will be extended for the period from 1 July 2003 to

30 June 2004.

The Community's financial contribution under the interim

arrangements will be equal to the annual amount provided for in

Article 3 of the Protocol currently in force. This financial

contribution will be paid by 31 December 2003. Payment for the

targeted measures specified in Articles 3 and 4 will be made once

the relevant conditions provided for in Article 4 of the Protocol

have been fulfilled.

2. During the interim period, fishing licences will be granted

within the limits applicable under Article 1 of the Protocol

currently in force, against payment of fees or advances equal to

those set out in point 1 of the Annex to the Protocol.

I should be obliged if you would acknowledge receipt of this letter

and confirm that you are in agreement with its contents.

Please accept, Gentlemen, the assurance of my highest consideration.

 

On behalf of the Council of the European Union
