". – I welcome the issues highlighted by Mr Busk and Mrs Attwooll in their respective reports. It is clear that there is a need to improve on aspects of monitoring the Common Fisheries Policy and proper sanctions for those in infringement.
The fundamental issue is that if we want to call this policy a "Common" policy then we need to ensure a level playing field. This applies to all aspects of the CFP. Foremost in the minds of Members who, like myself, represent coastal regions of the Union heavily dependent on fishing are the Commission’s recent proposals on the reform of the CFP.
The proposals in their current shape simply cannot survive. There is far too little consideration given to the socio-economic impact in the regions to which I have referred. We are not creating a level playing field when we undermine further the precarious position of families and communities for whom the fishing industry is the sole source of local employment, while at the same time leaving unchecked the excesses of industrial fishing, particularly when we claim to be developing a policy founded on sustainable development and sound environmental protection."@en1
