Article 3

The Community undertakes to take all appropriate steps to ensure that its vessels observe the provisions of this Agreement and the laws relating to fishing in Mozambique's waters consistent with the provisions of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and other rules of international law.

The authorities of Mozambique shall notify the Commission of the European Communities of any change to the said laws.

The measures taken by Mozambican authorities to regulate fisheries for the purpose of conservation shall be based on objective and scientific criteria and shall apply equally to Community and other third country vessels without prejudice to special arrangements between developing States within the same geographical area, including reciprocal fishing arrangements.
