Proposal for a
COUNCIL DECISION
on the conclusion, on behalf of the European Union, of the Implementing Protocol (2025-2030) to the Protocol implementing the Sustainable Fisheries Partnership Agreement between the European Union on the one hand, and the Government of Greenland and the Government of Denmark, on the other hand
EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
1.CONTEXT OF THE PROPOSAL
•Reasons for and objectives of the proposal
The Sustainable Fisheries Partnership Agreement (SPFA) between the European Union on the one part, and the Government of Greenland and the Government of Denmark, on the other part has been signed on 22 April 2021 and entered into provisional application on that date in line with its Article 15. It shall apply for six years from the date of its provisional application and is tacitly renewable for additional periods of six years and is therefore still in force. The previous 4-year Implementing Protocol to the Agreement has been provisionally applied from the moment of its signature on and will expire after four years on 21 April 2025 in line with its Article 13.
On 13 June 2024, the Council authorised the Commission to open negotiations for a new Protocol (‘the new Protocol’) to the SFPA.
On the basis of the relevant negotiating directives 1 , the Commission conducted negotiations with the Government of Greenland on concluding a new Implementing Protocol to the Agreement. The objective is to allow Union vessels to access the fishing zone Greenland and to fish for demersal species (Cod, Redfish, Halibut, Prawns, Grenadiers) and small pelagic species (Capelin). Following these negotiations, a new text of the Implementing Protocol was initialled on 20 September 2024. The new Protocol covers a period of 6 years from the date of provisional application laid down in Article 12.
The purpose of the new Protocol is to grant fishing opportunities to Union vessels in the fishing zones located in the waters of Greenland, in accordance with scientific advice and the recommendations of the relevant regional fisheries management organisations (NAFO, NEAFC). The new Protocol provides for the following fishing opportunities:
Cod in ICES Subareas II, V, XII, XIV: 2 050 tonnes per year
Pelagic redfish (REB) in ICES Subareas XII, XIV and in NAFO 1F: 0 tonnes per year
Demersal redfish (RED) in ICES Subareas II, V, XII, XIV: 2 100 tonnes per year
Greenland Halibut in NAFO Subarea 1 — South of 68° North: 1 900 tonnes per year
Greenland Halibut in ICES Subareas II, V, XII & XIV: 4 775 tonnes per year
Northern Prawn in NAFO Subarea 1: 2 431 per year
Northern Prawn in ICES Subareas II, V, XII, XIV: 4 150 per year
Capelin in ICES Subareas II, V, XII, XIV: 13 000 tonnes per year
Mackerel in ICES Subareas II, V, XII, XIV: 0 tonnes per year
The fishing opportunities for Pelagic Redfish are set at 0 tonnes because of the negative siceintific advise on the state of the stocks and in the case of Mackerel because of the abscense of a regional sharing arrangement.
Another objective is to enhance cooperation between the Union and Greenland by implementing the partnership framework for the Agreement in order to promote a sustainable fisheries policy and the responsible exploitation of fishery resources in the waters of the Greenland, in the interest of both Parties.
The purpose of this proposal is to obtain the Council’s authorisation for the conclusion of the new Protocol, in accordance with Article 218(6) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU).
•Consistency with existing provisions in the policy area
The main aim of the new Protocol to the Agreement is to provide an updated framework that takes into account the priorities of the common fisheries policy (CFP) and the external dimension. This will help maintain and strengthen the strategic partnership between the European Union and Greenland.
The new Protocol provides for fishing opportunities for Union vessels. It is based on the best available scientific advice and on the recommendations made by NAFO, NEAFC and ICES.
•Consistency with other Union policies
The negotiation of a new Sustainable Fishery Partnership Agreement and its Implementing Protocol forms part of the EU’s external action in relation to Overseas Countries and Terittories (OCTs).
2.LEGAL BASIS, SUBSIDIARITY AND PROPORTIONALITY
•Legal basis
The legal basis is Article 43(2) TFEU, which establishes the common fisheries policy, and Article 218(6) TFEU, which provides that the Council, on a proposal by the negotiator, is to adopt a decision concluding an agreement between the Union and third countries.
In accordance with the Treaties, it is for the Commission to ensure that the notification to the Government of Greenland and the Government of Denmark as provided for in Article 14 of the Protocol be made on behalf of the Union, in order to express the consent of the Union to be bound by the Protocol.
•Subsidiarity (for non-exclusive competence)
The proposal falls within the exclusive competence of the European Union pursuant to Article 3(1)(d) TFEU. The subsidiarity principle therefore does not apply.
•Proportionality
The proposal is proportionate to the objective of establishing a legal, environmental, economic and social governance framework for fishing activities carried out by Union vessels in third-country waters, as set out in Article 31 of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 establishing the common fisheries policy. It complies with those provisions and with those on financial assistance to third countries laid down in Article 32 of that Regulation.
3.RESULTS OF EX POST EVALUATIONS, STAKEHOLDER CONSULTATIONS AND IMPACT ASSESSMENTS
•Ex post evaluations / fitness checks of existing legislation
In 2024, the Commission contracted an independent consultant to carry out an ex post and ex ante evaluation study 2 . On the basis of that evaluation study, the Commission carried out an ex post evaluation of the current Implementing Protocol and an ex ante evaluation of possible options for the future. The conclusions of the ex post and ex ante evaluations are set out in a Commission Staff Working Document (SWD) 3 .
In the ex post evaluation contained in the SWD, the Commission concludes that, overall, the current Implementing Protocol was effective in achieving its objectives, with some areas for improvement. In this respect, the Union fleet remains interested in accessing the fishing areas of Greenland for the deployment of harvesting strategies under a multiannual framework, with some need for alignment of fishing opportunities based on the sicentific advice by the Union fleet. In terms of the sectoral support component, the Commission concludes that the sectoral support funds have (i) helped to strengthen scientific research and adminsitrative capacities of Greenland, and (ii) contributed to improved ocean governance in Greenland
In the ex ante evaluation contained in the SWD, the Commission concludes that the negotiation of a new Implementing Protocol, with some adjustments, is in the interest of both the Union and Greenland. For the Government of Greenland, negotiating a new Implementing Protocol will secure continued cooperation with the Union on strengthening ocean governance through the dedicated sectoral support funds under a multiannual framework.
For the Union, it is important to maintain an instrument allowing for close sectoral cooperation with a country that is a major partner, a supplier of fishery products to the Union, a provider of fishing opportunities used for swaps with other Nrothern European countries (namely Norway) and a stakeholder on the international stage and that has fishing grounds that are of interest to the Union fleet.
•Stakeholder consultations
Member States, industry representatives, international civil society organisations and the fisheries administration and civil society representatives of Greenland were consulted as part of the evaluation. Consultations also took place in the framework of the Long Distance Advisory Council. These consultations led to the conclusion that it is in the interest of the Union and Greenland to maintain an instrument allowing for in-depth sectoral cooperation, with multiannual funding possibilities for Greenland. It is in the interest of Union vessel owners to maintain access to an important fishing zone by means of a fisheries agreement.
•Collection and use of expertise
The Commission used an independent consultant for the ex post and ex ante evaluations, in accordance with Article 31(10) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 establishing the common fisheries policy.
•Impact assessment
Not applicable
•Regulatory fitness and simplification
Not applicable
•Fundamental rights
The negotiated Protocol includes a clause on the consequences of violating the essential elements regarding human rights as guaranteed by the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms and the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP).
4.BUDGETARY IMPLICATIONS
The annual financial contribution from the European Union is EUR 17 296 857, based on:
a) an annual amount for access to fishery resources for the categories provided for in the Protocol, set at EUR 14 096 857 for the duration of the Protocol;
b) support for the development of Greenland’s sectoral fisheries policy amounting to EUR 3 200 000 per year for the duration of the Protocol. This support meets the objectives of Greenland’s national policy on the sustainable management of their maritime fishery resources for the entire duration of the Protocol.
The annual amount for commitment and payment appropriations is established during the annual budgetary procedure, including for the reserve line for protocols not yet having entered into force at the beginning of the year 4 .
5.OTHER ELEMENTS
•Implementation plans and monitoring, evaluation and reporting arrangements
The monitoring arrangements are provided for in the SFPA and the new Protocol.

LEGISLATIVE FINANCIAL STATEMENT
1.FRAMEWORK OF THE PROPOSAL/INITIATIVE
1.1.Title of the proposal/initiative
Proposal for a Council Decision on the conclusion of the Implementing Protocol to the Sustainable Fisheries Partnership Agreement (SPFA) between the European Union on the one part, and the Government of Greenland and the Government of Denmark, on the other part
1.2.Policy area(s) concerned
08 – Agriculture and maritime policy
08.05 – Sustainable fisheries partnership agreements (SFPAs) and regional fisheries management organisations (RFMOs)
08.05.01 – Establishing a governance framework for fishing activities carried out by Union fishing vessels in third-country waters
1.3.The proposal/initiative relates to:
X a new action
a new action following a pilot project / preparatory action 7
the extension of an existing action
a merger or redirection of one or more actions towards another / a new action
1.4.Objective(s)
1.4.1.General objective(s)
The negotiation and conclusion of sustainable fisheries partnership agreements (SFPAs) with third countries meet the general objective of giving Union fishing vessels access to the fishing zones of third countries and developing a partnership with those countries with a view to strengthening the sustainable exploitation of fishery resources outside the Union’s waters.
SFPAs also ensure consistency between the principles governing the common fisheries policy and commitments made under other European policies, such as sustainable use of third-country resources, combating illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing, integration of partner countries into the global economy, contribution to sustainable development in all its dimensions, and better political and financial governance of fisheries.
1.4.2.Specific objective(s)
Specific objective No 1
To contribute to sustainable fishing in non-Union waters, maintain a European presence in distant-water fisheries and protect the interests of the European fisheries sector and consumers by negotiating and concluding SFPAs with coastal states, consistent with other European policies.
1.4.3.Expected result(s) and impact
Specify the effects which the proposal/initiative should have on the beneficiaries/groups targeted.
Concluding the Implementing Protocol to the Agreement means that the strategic fisheries partnership between the European Union and the Government of Greenland can be continued and strengthened. Concluding the Protocol will create fishing opportunities for Union vessels in the fishing zone of Greenland.
The Protocol will also contribute to better management and conservation of fishery resources, through financial support (sectoral support) for the implementation of programmes adopted at national level by the partner country, in particular as regards monitoring and combating illegal fishing, and support for the small-scale fisheries sector.
Finally, the Protocol will contribute to the maritime economy of Greenland, promoting growth linked to maritime activity and the sustainable exploitation of its marine resources.
1.4.4.Performance indicators
Specify the indicators for monitoring progress and achievements.
Fishing opportunity exploitation rates (annual uptake of fishing authorisations as a percentage of availability under the Protocol).
Catch data (gathering and analysis) and the commercial value of the Agreement.
Contribution to creating jobs and establishing decent working conditions in the fisheries sector, creating added value in the Union and stabilising the Union market (in aggregate with other SFPAs).
Contribution to improving research, surveillance and control of fishing activity by the partner country and development of its fisheries sector, in particular small-scale fisheries.
1.5.Grounds for the proposal/initiative
1.5.1.Requirement(s) to be met in the short or long term, including a detailed timeline for roll-out of the implementation of the initiative
It is intended that the new Implementing Protocol will apply provisionally from the date on which it is signed, so as to minimise any interruption of fishing operations resulting from the expiry of the current Protocol.
The new Protocol will provide a framework for fishing activity by the Union fleet in the fishing zone of Greenland and will allow Union vessel owners to apply for fishing authorisations to fish in that zone. In addition, the new Protocol will enhance cooperation between the Union and Greenland with a view to promoting the development of a sustainable fisheries policy in all its dimensions. It provides, in particular, for vessels to be monitored via VMS and for the electronic transmission of catch data. The sectoral support available under the Protocol will help the Government of Greenland in the context of its national fisheries strategy and maritime economy, including in the fight against IUU fishing, while promoting decent working conditions for fishing activity.
1.5.2.Added value of Union involvement (this may result from different factors, e.g. coordination gains, legal certainty, greater effectiveness or complementarities). For the purposes of this point, ‘added value of Union involvement’ is the value resulting from Union involvement which is additional to the value that would otherwise have been created by Member States alone.
Failure by the Union to agree on a new Protocol would impede the fishing activity of Union vessels, as the current Agreement contains a clause excluding fishing activity not taking place in the framework defined by a protocol to the Agreement. Consequently, the added value for the Union’s long-distance fleet is very clear. The Protocol also provides a framework for enhanced cooperation between the Union and the Government of Greenland.
1.5.3.Lessons learned from similar experiences in the past
Funds provided as financial compensation for access under the SFPA constitute fungible revenue in the national budget of Greenland. However, funds intended for sectoral support are allocated (generally by introduction in the annual budget law) to the Ministry responsible for fisheries, as a condition for the conclusion and monitoring of SFPAs. These financial resources are compatible with other sources of funding from other providers of international funding for carrying out projects and/or programmes at national level in the fisheries sector.

Comments
2.MANAGEMENT MEASURES
2.1.Monitoring and reporting rules
Specify frequency and conditions.
The Commission (DG MARE) will ensure regular monitoring of the implementation of the Protocol as regards the use of fishing opportunities by operators, catch data and compliance with conditions for sectoral support.
Furthermore, the SFPA provides for at least one annual meeting of the Joint Committee, at which the Commission and Greenland will review the implementation of the Agreement and Protocol and, if necessary, adjust the programming and the financial contribution.
2.2.Management and control system(s)
2.2.1.Justification of the management mode(s), the funding implementation mechanism(s), the payment modalities and the control strategy proposed
Payments will be implemented in a decoupled manner as regards the contribution for access and the contribution for sectoral support.
The payments for access will be made annually on the anniversary date of the Protocol, except in the first year, when the payment will be made in the three months after the start of provisional application. Vessel access will be controlled by the issuing of fishing authorisations.
The support will be paid for the first time within three months after the start of the provisional application, subject to the agreement on an annual and multiannual implementation programme; for the following years, it will be conditional to the results achieved. The results achieved and the implementation rate will be monitored in accordance with the Guidelines on the Implementation of Sectoral Support for Greenland Fisheries policy to be agreed by the Parties, on the basis of reports or documentary evidence provided by the partner country.
2.2.2.Information concerning the risks identified and the internal control system(s) set up to mitigate them
The identified risk is the under-use of fishing opportunities by EU vessel owners and the under-use or delayed use by Greenland of funds intended to finance the sectoral fisheries policy. Extensive dialogue is planned on the programming and implementation of the sectoral policy laid down in the Agreement and the Protocol. Joint analysis of results, as referred to in Article 4 of the Protocol, also forms part of these control methods. In addition, the Agreement and the Protocol contain specific clauses for their suspension, under certain conditions and in given circumstances.
2.2.3.Estimation and justification of the cost-effectiveness of the controls (ratio of ‘control costs ÷ value of the related funds managed’), and assessment of the expected levels of risk of error (at payment and at closure)
Payments relating to access costs under SFPAs are subject to checks aimed at ensuring their compliance with the provisions of international agreements. Checks relating to sectoral support are aimed at monitoring its implementation. Monitoring is carried out by Commission staff at Union delegations and during Joint Committee meetings. A multiannual programming matrix is used to evaluate progress. If progress is insufficient, the payment of the next instalment is suspended or possibly reduced. The overall cost of the checks on all SFPAs is estimated to be around 1.8%. The procedures for checks on SFPAs are based largely on essential regulatory requirements. If no shortcomings are detected that could have a significant impact on the legality and regularity of the financial transactions, the checks are considered effective. The average error rate is estimated at 0.0%.
2.3.Measures to prevent fraud and irregularities
Specify existing or envisaged prevention and protection measures, e.g. from the anti-fraud strategy.
The Commission undertakes to establish political dialogue and regular coordination with the Government of Greenland with a view to improving the management of the Agreement and the Protocol and strengthening the Union’s contribution to sustainable resource management. Any payment which the Commission makes under an SFPA is subject to the Commission’s standard rules and budgetary and financial procedures. In particular, the bank accounts of the third countries into which the financial contribution is paid are fully identified. Article 6(6) of the Protocol provides that the financial contribution for access must be paid into a Public Treasury account, whereas the contribution intended for development of the sector must be paid into an official account under the supervision of the Ministry responsible for fisheries and the Ministry responsible for finance.
