The participants noted that <strong>women rarely own land, and that evictions are often carried out without notice or compensation</strong>. They concluded that, in 2025, they will need to explore possible new alliances to defend their coastal tenure rights: strengthening national associations is the first step towards an international coalition in order to carry women's voices in the struggle for land ownership.</p><h4 style="color:inherit;margin:1.414em 0 .5em;font-weight:400;line-height:1.25em;font-size:1.2496875em;mso-line-height-alt:1.2496875em;font-family:'DejaVu Sans Condensed', 'Liberation Sans', 'Nimbus Sans L', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;letter-spacing:.02em;"><strong>Ten years - that is a long time!</strong></h4><p class="" style="color:inherit;font-size:.9375em;line-height:1.618em;margin:0 0 1.25em 0;font-weight:normal;font-family:'DejaVu Sans Condensed', 'Liberation Sans', 'Nimbus Sans L', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">CFFA has been waiting for it for almost ten years: the dialogue on the development of a regulatory framework for fishing joint ventures has finally been initiated. Following up on a 2015 EU Long Distance Advisory Council (LDAC) recommendation, the LDAC and CFFA organised a seminar in Berlin in May 2024, "<a href="https://ldac.eu/en/meetings/archive/ldac-cffa-seminar-on-the-role-of-fishing-companies-with-investments-and-operations-in-third-non-eu-countries" rel="nofollow" style="color:#119462 !important;">The Role of Fishing Companies with Investments and Operations in Third Non-EU countries</a>", focusing on Africa case studies.</p><p class="" style="color:inherit;font-size:.9375em;line-height:1.618em;margin:0 0 1.25em 0;font-weight:normal;font-family:'DejaVu Sans Condensed', 'Liberation Sans', 'Nimbus Sans L', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">This dialogue is a starting point, but in their <a href="https://www.cffacape.org/news-blog/its-a-long-way-to-mutual-understanding-european-and-african-stakeholders-find-common-ground-on-fishing-joint-ventures" rel="nofollow" style="color:#119462 !important;">conclusions</a>, the participants agreed on the need to develop “<em>a legal framework at the level of African countries, applicable to all vessel, irrespective of the country of origin of the actual shipowner</em>.” This framework should ensure that fishing joint venture operate sustainably, do not compete with the local small-scale fisheries sector, and contribute to local economies and food security.</p><h4 style="color:inherit;margin:1.414em 0 .5em;font-weight:400;line-height:1.25em;font-size:1.2496875em;mso-line-height-alt:1.2496875em;font-family:'DejaVu Sans Condensed', 'Liberation Sans', 'Nimbus Sans L', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;letter-spacing:.02em;"><strong>A new landscape after the European elections</strong></h4><p class="" style="color:inherit;font-size:.9375em;line-height:1.618em;margin:0 0 1.25em 0;font-weight:normal;font-family:'DejaVu Sans Condensed', 'Liberation Sans', 'Nimbus Sans L', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">The outgoing European Commissioner for the Environment, Oceans and Fisheries has left his successor the legacy of <strong>bringing to completion an evaluation of the Common Fisheries Policy</strong> (CFP). In addition to this evaluation, the <a href="https://www.cffacape.org/news-blog/costas-kadis-the-eu-ocean-pact-will-be-a-model-of-sustainability-good-governance-and-coherence" rel="nofollow" style="color:#119462 !important;">new Commissioner is tasked</a> with developing a "European Oceans Pact", under which the CFP and all other policies affecting the oceans will be brought together, in the interest of coherence.

To this end, small-scale fisheries organisations and environmental and development NGOs issued a <a href="https://www.cffacape.org/news-blog/small-scale-fishers-play-a-central-role-for-biodiversity-conservation-it-needs-recognition-and-support-fao-is-told" rel="nofollow" style="color:#119462 !important;">joint statement&nbsp;at the FAO Sub-Committee on Fisheries Management in January 2024</a>.
