lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I welcome the fact that we have finally begun to discuss the proposals on the reform of the common fisheries policy. I do not like the route we took. However, there was not much we could do about that. We have to accept the present common fisheries policy has ended in failure. We all know that. We must come to the conclusion, that our responsibility, as Mr Stevenson has said, is to get down to the substance and work with the Commission and the Council to come forward with a policy that hopefully will be infinitely better than the previous one. I welcome the fact that we are going to give more responsibility to local fishermen closer to the areas in which they work. I want to see real responsibility, and not a minimal consultation because if that is what we end up with it will not work. Yes, we all recognise there has to be a reduction in capacity and we must have a sustainable fishing industry and a fishing fleet at the end of all of this. We must develop a policy that will work. For years, the UK Government has totally failed fishermen and the fishing industry. I want the Commissioner to ensure that whatever is brought in is unified throughout the European Union and is financed in a unified way so that no one Member State can pour in more money than another to support their particular industry. We cannot deal with every point here today. We might like to do so, but we cannot. We all recognise that the livelihoods of everyone involved in these industries is at stake and I have no doubt that we will all work to try and resolve that. Finally, Commissioner, I would like to put the point to you which I put in committee last week. I asked you to outline the substance of the report that has changed since Mr Smith was dismissed from office. You agreed that you would inform the Committee on Fisheries. Will you stand by that and tell us what substantial changes have been made to the report since Mr Smith was dismissed?"@en1
