Morocco has reached an agreement to extend its fishing partnership with Russia through the end of 2024. This decision follows a recent ruling by the European Court of Justice, which annulled the fishing agreements between Morocco and the European Union.
The original fishing agreement, which was established in 2020, aims to address various aspects of maritime fisheries and has potential benefits for both nations. One of the primary goals is to enhance scientific research, improve fishing technologies, develop better fish processing methods, and expand aquaculture efforts.
Under this agreement, Russian vessels are permitted to fish for smaller species in the Atlantic, with Morocco receiving fees in return for access to these waters. In recent developments, both countries have exchanged memoranda to formalize the extension of this partnership, and discussions about future agreements are already in progress.
– Extension of fishing agreement between Morocco and Russia until end of 2024
– Recent European Court ruling annulled Morocco-EU fishing agreements
– Focus on scientific research and improvement of fishing practices
– Russian vessels allowed to fish for small species in specified Atlantic zones
– Ongoing discussions for future agreements between the two nations
