1. INTRODUCTION
With the aim of promoting legal, environmental, economic and social gov-
ernance frameworks for sustainable sheries, of gaining access to key shing ar-
eas of the world or of promoting monitoring, control and surveillance schemes
to combat illegal shing, the European Union has concluded a relevant number
of sheries agreements1. The external dimension of the EU action became in
the past decade more and more important, especially after the Treaty of Lisbon
and it could be considered the next challenge for the European integration2.

Having regards to the dierent types of shing agreement, we can distin-
guish the international relations of the EU with the Third Parties according to the
following scheme: Bilateral sheries agreements, Reciprocal agreements, Multi-
lateral agreements and International Conventions. The EU also has 2 types of
shing agreements with non-EU countries: Northern agreements – joint man-
agement of shared stocks with Norway, Iceland and the Faroe Islands and Sus-
tainable sheries partnership agreements (SFPAs) for which the EU gives nan-
cial and technical support in exchange for shing rights, generally with southern
partner countries. The EU concludes bilateral agreements such as sustainable
sheries partnerships, or multilateral agreements such as agreements with re-
gional sheries management organisations and international conventions3.
Considering that the legal basis for the agricultural and sheries policy has
to be found in art. 43 TFEU, together with artt. 38-40 TFEU, which provide exclu-
sive competence to the European Union, the present contribution is intended to
consider the new role of the European Parliament during the negotiations of in-
