Summary:

Decision (EU) 2018/757 - adopted by the European Union on 14 May 2018 - which denounces the Partnership Agreement in the fisheries sector (FPA) between the European Union and the Union of the Comoros.

Further information:

The Comoros was notified in October 2015 of the possibility of being identified as a non-cooperating third country in fighting illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing. In July 2017, the country was added to the list of non-cooperating third countries following the failure to implement remedial action to address the concerns identified by the European Commission.

In September 2017 the Commission published a proposal for a Decision denouncing the Fisheries Partnership Agreement between the European Union (EU) and the Union of the Comoros. The Council adopted its Decision on 14 May 2018.
