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

The European Parliament gave its consent to agreements setting up EU financial mechanisms with Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway for May 2021 to April 2028, plus additional protocols on fish imports.

These arrangements provide a financial contribution to economic and social cohesion in the EEA, with new concessions and flexibility on unexhausted quotas.

The rapporteur raised concerns about imbalances in the fisheries protocol with Norway but backed the package as a whole.

Parliament asks the Commission to address these concerns and imbalances in the EU fishing sector swiftly.
