lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I am pleased to inform the House that the UN Fish Stocks Agreement will enter into force on 11 December. This follows the thirtieth ratification by Malta, shamefully with no ratifications by the EU. Turning to Morocco, the Greens will be voting against this proposal, not because we oppose compensation for fishermen put out of work, but because we oppose this particular package. Firstly it provides increased premiums for only certain people, those involved in Morocco. This discriminates against other fishermen and ship owners. Secondly, it will fund even more transfers of vessels to third countries, including flags of convenience, and there are still no controls in place to prevent this. Thirdly, it sets a very bad precedent if every time an agreement collapses or problems entirely foreseeable arise, we decide to dish out huge sums of European taxpayers' money. Clearly, the problem with fisheries agreements has to be addressed. Morocco is the first, but there are more to come."@en1
