The European Union and the Cook Islands have signed a new protocol to the sustainable fisheries partnership agreement for a duration of 7 years (2025-2032).
This renewed protocol will grant the European Union fleet operating in the Pacific Ocean access to some of the richest and healthiest tuna stocks worldwide, for a total of 40 fishing days per year.
In return, the EU financial support will continue to foster the sustainable development of the fisheries sector and blue economy in Cook Islands.
