"Mr President, to start with, I would like to thank Mrs Langenhagen who, with this report, has once again produced a good and thorough piece of work. The Greenland Agreement is important for the Union, especially because it gives the Community the opportunity to enter into other very important fisheries agreements, for example with Norway and Iceland. There are four countries that benefit from the Greenland Agreement, but there are even more Member States that benefit from the agreements with Norway and Iceland. In short, the third country agreements that the Union has with countries in the north, west and south bring many advantages. With reference to respect for the principle of relative stability, we are therefore opposed to Mrs Figueiredo’s Amendment No 9. In this area, I would also support the ideas discussed by Mrs Langenhagen during her submission.
I am pleased that the fishing possibilities, to which access is being purchased, are more realistic than in the previous agreement. I share Mrs Langenhagen’s desire to apply the principle of ‘money for fish’, i.e. separation of the financial consideration for the fishing possibilities, on the one hand, and the resources for development needs, on the other. I would like to call upon the Commission to seek a solution model which Greenland’s local Government can accept and which distinguishes between the value of fishing rights and more development-oriented financing, which is actually taken into account in the budget items, as is reflected in their headings. On behalf of the Liberal Group, I have put forward an amendment to the effect that those fishermen who benefit from the agreement must also be involved in financing the agreement. This is a proposal that we always make because we feel that the users must contribute to the financing to a greater extent. We believe that this principle should apply to all the EU’s fisheries agreements."@en1
