CFFA recommendations for future FPA ex-ante ex-post evaluations

CFFA has published a paper proposing recommendations for improving the process of future FPAs evaluations.

It was sent it to the EC, with a letter asking for: 
 all evaluation reports to be made systematically public (rather than made available on request); 
 in order to improve public participation in the decision making process, evaluations need to be reviewed and commented on by stakeholders from both parties before new agreements are concluded; 
 several issues should be given more consideration in the evaluations, including the impacts of the EU owned fleets activities fishing outside fishing agreements, the by-catch taken by European vessels (composition, value), the implementation of the social clause, etc
