THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Whereas:

A Protocol setting out the fishing opportunities and financial contribution provided for in the Agreement(2) was attached thereto. That Protocol expired on 31 December 2011.
(2) A new Protocol setting out the fishing opportunities and the financial contribution provided for by the Fisheries Partnership Agreement between the European Community and the Republic of Mozambique (the 'Protocol') was initialled on 2 June 2011, providing EU vessels with fishing opportunities in the waters over which Mozambique have sovereignty or jurisdiction in respect of fisheries.
(3) On 23 January 2012 the Council adopted Decision 2012/91/EU(3) on the signing, on behalf of the European Union, and provisional application of the Protocol.

The absence of a reply within deadlines to be set by the Council is to be considered as confirmation that the vessels of the Member State concerned are not making full use of their fishing opportunities in the given period. It is necessary to set such deadlines.
