lpv:translated text	"Mr President, 2001 is the year in which the Commission is to draft a new common fisheries policy. In my view, it is of utmost importance that the Commission should actively involve the fisheries industry itself in the preparatory activities leading up to its decisions. When translating research results into catch restrictions, the Commission should not only take the advice of scientists, but also the fishermen. If not, imposing total allowed catches and quotas will meet with unnecessary resistance from them. Fishermen, especially in the Netherlands, recognise the benefit of catch restrictions, provided there is a good reason for them. A bad example is the recent catch restriction imposed on Dutch fishermen for plaice and sole, which will set them back EUR 35 million. This is a restriction which, according to the European Fisheries Council, is required in order to protect cod, whilst biologists claim that such recommendations were never made and that this was a political decision. European fishermen are active in very different waters. This requires a regional approach which is entirely in compliance with the European Union’s principle of subsidiarity. That means that in the case of the Netherlands, it will develop the policy for the North Sea in conjunction with other North Sea countries. These countries will decide whether the fragile system of the North Sea can accommodate ships from other regions. If the Union insists on other ships having access to the North Sea, the quoting of as yet unquoted fish species would be a real way of keeping additional catches of quoted fish within limits. Finally, I would echo rapporteur Gallagher in his request for a cost-benefit analysis of fisheries agreements which the Commission concludes with third countries. Do all Member States benefit proportionately from spending Community funding in this way? I doubt it very much."@en1
