Migration, Fisheries, and the Supremacy of European Interests in Mauritania
Un excellent article, résumé dans sa conclusion (en gras), mais qui mérite d’être lu en entier. Très intéressant notamment dans sa dimension histoire récente et son analyse du tournant de 2006 qui a, sous contrainte de l’UE, refaçonné les façons dont « l’immigration » était vécue, administrée et perçue en Mauritanie, en particulier dans les zones de pêche.
A breakdown recently occurred in negotiations between the European Union (EU) and Mauritania over a new fisheries protocol; the protocol is a cornerstone of relations between the two, albeit a contentious one. The previous partnership agreement (expiring at the end of 2014) contained somewhat progressive measures, thanks to the lobbying efforts of local fishermen and activists. However, these measures may now be at risk of reversal due to the breakdown in recent negotiations. Having been the most vocal opponent of the equitable steps contained within the previous agreement, Spain has once again voiced its discontent following the latest collapse in negotiations, alleging discrimination against the Spanish fleet.
