Division 1

The licence must be held on board at all times. The European Union shall keep an up-to-date draft list of the vessels for which a fishing licence has been applied for under this Protocol. This draft shall be notified to the Guinea-Bissau authorities as soon as it is drawn up, and then each time it is updated. On receipt of this draft list and of notification of payment of the advance sent to the Guinea-Bissau authorities by the European Commission, the vessel shall be entered by the competent Guinea-Bissau authority on a list of vessels authorised to fish, which shall be notified to the authorities responsible for fisheries inspection and to the Delegation of the European Union to Guinea-Bissau. A certified copy of this list shall then be sent by the Delegation of the European Union to the vessel owner to be kept on board instead of the fishing licence until the licence has been issued by the competent Guinea-Bissau authority.
