The European Parliament adopted a resolution drafted by Margie SUDRE (EPP-ED, FR) and made some amendments to the proposal on the conclusion of the Fisheries Partnership Agreement between the European Community and the Republic of Madagascar. The amendments were mostly aimed at improving the information forwarded to Parliament. The main ones were as follows:

- the Commission shall report annually to the European Parliament and the Council on the results of the multiannual sectoral programme referred to in Article 7 of the Protocol;

- during the final year of the Protocol's validity and before another agreement as to its renewal is concluded, the Commission shall submit to the European Parliament and the Council a report on the application of the Agreement and the conditions under which it was implemented;

- on the basis of the latter report and after consulting the European Parliament, the Council shall, where appropriate, grant the Commission a negotiating mandate with a view to the adoption of a new protocol;

- the Commission shall forward to the European Parliament the conclusions of the meetings of the joint committee referred to in Article 9 of the Agreement.
