AI: What this vote decides Written by AI from the official text — check the source

Parliament gave its consent to the EU's conclusion of a five-year protocol to the fisheries partnership agreement with Cabo Verde, allowing EU vessels to fish tuna and related species in Cabo Verde's waters.

In return, the EU will pay Cabo Verde an annual financial contribution of 780,000 euros, partly for access to fishing resources and partly to support the development of Cabo Verde's fisheries sector.

The protocol aims to promote sustainable fisheries management, decent working conditions, and the fight against illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing.
