« Cette étude souligne l'écart entre d’une part les pratiques actuelles au Sénégal et en Mauritanie et d’autre part les standards de l'industrie de la farine et de l'huile de poisson au niveau mondial. En Mauritanie et au Sénégal, où la production de farine et d'huile de poisson (FHP) représente respectivement 1,12% et 0,22% de la production mondiale[i], la Table ronde mondiale veut faire partie de la solution aux problèmes soulevés par les communautés locales. Pour y parvenir, la collaboration entre les gouvernements et les acteurs privés doit être renforcée, sur la base d'une compréhension claire des responsabilités de chacun », a déclaré Árni Mathiesen, président indépendant de la Table Ronde Mondiale. «Comme première étape, la Table ronde mondiale travaille, notamment avec la FAO, pour organiser un atelier sur l'Afrique subsaharienne. Guidé par un rapport de la FAO de 2022 et les conclusions et recommandations de l'EIDH, l'atelier discutera de solutions possibles. L'atelier vise à rassembler les parties prenantes régionales, y compris de nombreuses personnes identifiées dans l'EIDH. De plus, la Table Ronde Mondiale travaille actuellement à l'ajout d'une deuxième phase à l'étude, axée sur les impacts de la pêche par les entreprises étrangères et les flux commerciaux associés ».

“This study underlines the gap between the current practices in Senegal and Mauritania and the fishmeal and fish oil industry’s global standards. In Mauritania and Senegal, where fishmeal and fish oil (FMFO) production represents respectively 1.12% and 0.22% of global output[i],  the Global Roundtable wants to be part of the solution to issues raised by local communities. To achieve this, collaboration between governments and private actors must be strengthened, based on a clear understanding of everyone’s responsibilities” says Árni Mathiesen, Independent Chair of the Global Roundtable. “As a first next step, the Global Roundtable is working with the FAO and others to convene a workshop on Sub-Saharan Africa. Guided by a 2022 FAO report and the findings and recommendations in the HRIA, the workshop will discuss solutions on a range of issues. The workshop is intended to gather regional stakeholders including many identified in the HRIA. The Global Roundtable is now working on adding a second phase to the study, focusing on the impacts of fishing by foreign companies and the associated trade flows”.
