The European Union will not renew a fishing agreement with Senegal that has been criticized by many Senegalese, the EU delegation in the West African country announced Tuesday.
The decision comes after the EU identified Senegal as a “non-cooperating country" in the fight against illegal fishing earlier this year, citing "failures in monitoring, control and surveillance systems" on Senegalese ships in extraterritorial waters as well as on foreign vessels in the port of Dakar, the capital.
