THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 43(3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) On 23 July 2007, the Council approved the Fisheries Partnership Agreement between the Democratic Republic of São Tomé and Príncipe and the European Community (the ‘Partnership Agreement’) by adopting Regulation (EC) No 894/2007(1).
(2) The Union and the Democratic Republic of São Tomé and Príncipe negotiated and initialled, on 19 December 2013, a new Protocol to the Partnership Agreement granting Union vessels fishing opportunities in the waters over which the Democratic Republic of São Tomé and Príncipe has sovereignty or jurisdiction in respect of fisheries.
(3) On 19 mai 2014, the Council adopted Decision 2014/334/EU(2) on the signing and provisional application of the new Protocol.
(4) The method for allocating the fishing opportunities among the Member States should be defined for the period of application of the new Protocol.
(5) If it appears that the fishing authorisations or opportunities allocated to the Union by virtue of the new Protocol are not fully exhausted, the Commission will inform the Member States thereof in accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 1006/2008(3). If no reply is received within a time limit to be set by the Council, this will be considered as confirmation that the vessels of the Member State concerned are not making full use of their fishing opportunities during the period in question. That time limit should be set.
(6) To ensure the continuity of the fishing activities of Union vessels, the new Protocol provides for its application by the parties on a provisional basis from the date of its signature. This Regulation should therefore apply from the date of signature of the new Protocol,
