Chapter V LANDINGS AND TRANSHIPMENTS

The master of an EU vessel wishing to land in a Cape Verdean port, or to tranship catch from the Cape Verde zone, must notify Cape Verde, at least 24 hours before landing or transhipment, of the following:

1. (a)

   the name of the fishing vessel which must land or tranship;

2. (b)

   the port of landing or transhipment;

3. (c)

   the date and time scheduled for the landing or transhipment;

4. (d)

   the quantity (expressed in kilograms of live weight or, if necessary, the number of individual fish) of each species to be landed or transhipped (identified by its FAO alpha 3 code);

5. (e)

   in the case of transhipment, the name of the receiving vessel;

6. (f)

   the health certificate of the receiving vessel.

The transhipment operation must be carried out in the waters of a Cape Verdean port authorised for this purpose. Transhipment at sea is prohibited.

Non-compliance with these provisions shall lead to the application of the relevant sanctions provided for under Cape Verdean legislation.

An EU vessel which lands in a Cape Verdean port, or which sells its catch to a processing factory in Cape Verde shall benefit from a financial incentive in the form of a partial reduction in the fee, in accordance with the limits set out in the technical sheets included in Appendix 2 of this Annex.
