Implementing Protocol (2025-2030) to the Sustainable Fisheries Partnership Agreement between the European Union and the Government of Greenland and the Government of Denmark
This agreement allows EU vessels to fish in Greenland's waters for species like cod and shrimp from 2025 to 2030. It renews a partnership that supports Greenland's fisheries policy and provides access for about 10 EU vessels. The agreement directly affects EU fishing companies and crews who will operate under new rules in Greenland's waters. It also impacts Greenland's economy, as fishing accounts for over 90% of its exports and 15% of its jobs. The new protocol increases the EU's annual financial contribution to Greenland to over €17 million. It also aims to improve cooperation on monitoring, control, and scientific research, while addressing concerns about potential overfishing of certain species. The European Parliament has given its consent to the conclusion of this agreement. The financial contribution includes payments for access rights and support for Greenland's fisheries policy, with vessel owners paying additional fees.
