"I note that the President-in-Office has referred to the discussions which she hopes will come to a fruitful and successful conclusion. I would add that I hope it will also be a fair conclusion. In addition, I am pleased that she has referred to discards. This has to be top priority because too many fish that are taken aboard vessels are discards – and then it is much too late. I would ask the President-in-Office whether she would take into consideration the initiative taken by both Ireland and the UK in relation to technical conservation measures and see that some effort is made by all countries to try to ensure that the smaller fish are not taken on board. You referred to the point that relative stability and special unique circumstances cannot be taken into consideration. We are now 20 years on and if we continue with the same principle as we had in 1983 then small countries like Ireland will be worse off. We have to be pragmatic about this. The Council, the Council of Ministers, the presidency have to take into consideration that in Ireland the coastal regions have no alternative source of employment. It is a peripheral area, an Objective 1 area. Those regions must be taken into consideration. I would ask the President-in-Office to keep an open mind."@en1
