"Mr President, we had a debate on the Cunha report yesterday. One of the complaints lodged by the Dutch MEPs was that this proposal does not sufficiently take into account the agreements reached in the Netherlands between the government and the fisheries sector to facilitate observance of the fishing quota on a voluntary basis. When there is a possibility to conclude voluntary agreements upon proper consultation between the government and social organisations which have the same effect as legislation, the Dutch Labour Party has a preference for such agreements over unnecessary interference from above. This, of course, also applies at European level. I am, therefore, also very pleased with the report of Mrs Miguélez Ramos. Although we had strong differences of opinion regarding the Cunha report, I fully back her proposals to give reinforcement to the Advisory Committee on Fisheries. I congratulate her on her report. I would only make one comment. The Advisory Committee can only function properly if it represents the different sectors involved in the fisheries policy and if all the Union’s fishing nations are represented in the committee. This is not yet the case. Our Group will therefore vote in favour of Amendment No 3. In this way, it hopes to bring some pressure to bear on this issue. I also call upon the European Commission to ensure that the Advisory Committee is, and continues to be, representative in the sense that I have just described. Finally, Mr President, I can inform you that my Group will be voting in favour of the resolution tabled by Mrs Miguélez Ramos, since this resolution makes a major contribution to the European Union’s fisheries policy."@en1
