Paragraph 2 – subparagraph 1
Draws attention to the conclusions of the ex ante evaluation report of June 2013 on the EU-Cook Islands FPA and protocol, according to which previous FPAs/Protocols in the region (Kiribati, Solomon Islands) have not made any meaningful contribution to the development of the local fishing sectors, particularly in terms of joint enterprises (with shared investments) and the development of local processing capacity; takes the view that the EU-Cook Islands FPA should mark a turning point in this unsatisfactory scenario by making an effective contribution to local fishing sector development, by guaranteeing the supply of fish needed for domestic consumption and thereby matching the objectives announced for the new generation of EU fisheries agreements;
