OceanLaw has concluded its work on the first European Commission Framework Contract on European Fisheries Partnership Agreements (2003-2006) and has already begun its work on the Second Framework contract (2006-2009) (see News Release 2006/3).

OceanLaw consultants participated in evaluations of several third country fisheries sectors (the Faroe Islands, Greenland, Iceland and Norway) with a view to evaluating existing fisheries agreements and assessing needs for future fisheries partnership agreements. The contract, led by an international consortium of leading fisheries consultancy firms - MegaPesca (Portugal), Océanic Developpement (France) and Poseidon (UK) - ran over three years, with a budget of over €1 million, and provided strategic advice to the European Commission. The results of the evaluations are confidential.
