lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I would like to thank Mrs Langenhagen for her report. The fish processing industry employs 18 140 people in the UK, that is, 20% of the EU jobs in this sector. The majority of these jobs are in Scotland, and in some of the most peripheral areas of Scotland. These jobs provide a lifeline to so many people living in rural areas. Much more than that, they provide us with the finished fish product. Without the workers in this industry we would not enjoy the fish we take for granted. That is why the Committee on Fisheries held a hearing and saw that the priorities for the industry were supply, continued employment, the environment, food safety, imports and also the consequences of enlargement. We know that some of our stocks are at seriously low levels, and therefore when there is a ban on cod fishing, it is not just the fishermen, but the processors that lose out too. We have to work towards availability of supply, but balance this with high hygiene levels and sustainability of that supply. The processing industry is an important one, which we should never lose sight of in any fishing debate."@en1
