Schedule ANNEX II

Standard otter trawls and other selective gear are authorised.

Outriggers are authorised.

In the case of all fishing gear, no methods or devices may be used to seek to obstruct the mesh of the nets or reduce their selective effect. However, in the interests of reducing wear or damage, protective aprons of netting or other material may be attached, but only to the underside of the codend of a bottom trawl. Such aprons must be attached only to the forward and lateral edges of the codend of the trawl. Protective devices may be used for the top of the trawl, but these must consist of a single section of net of the same material as the codend, with the mesh measuring at least 300 millimetres when stretched out.

Doubling of the codend’s netting yarn, whether single or multiple, shall be prohibited.

In accordance with Guinea-Bissau law.

In the absence of provisions in Guinea-Bissau law, the two Parties shall agree within the Joint Committee and on the basis of the best available scientific advice approved by the joint scientific meeting, on the most appropriate biological recovery period.

In accordance with Guinea-Bissau law:

Fin-fish trawlers may not hold on board crustaceans or cephalopods accounting, in each case, for more than 9 % of their total catch in Guinea-Bissau’s fishing zone at the end of a trip as defined in Chapter III of the Annex to this Protocol.

Cephalopod trawlers may not hold on board crustaceans accounting for more than 9 % of their total catch in Guinea-Bissau’s fishing zone at the end of a trip as defined in Chapter III of the Annex to this Protocol.

Where these percentages exceed the authorised by-catches, penalties shall be imposed in accordance with Guinea-Bissau law.

The two Parties shall consult within the Joint Committee to adjust the authorised rate if necessary.

229 EUR per GRT per year

In the case of three-month and six-month licences, the fees shall be calculated pro rata temporis, plus 3 % and 2 % respectively to cover recurrent costs in drawing up the licences.
