First, we think the motion for a resolution on environmental protection under the common fisheries policy is a good idea and we support it.
It rightly notes that the European Parliament is opposed to the horizontal application of restrictive measures, that is, measures which take no account of fishing zones or fish species. The European Parliament is therefore taking an indirect stand against the basic option of reforming the common fisheries policy, which would mean an end to public aid for the modernisation of fishing vessels. It likewise rightly identifies the dangers to the economies of coastal areas affected by these measures.
It rightly notes that the Commission's arguments in favour of the application of restrictive policies are not based on scientific data and that specific studies need to be carried out in order to evaluate the real state of fish stocks.
Although it calls for these studies to be carried out, it also calls for restrictions such as TACs and quotas to be maintained. We would point out that proposing such measures without first carrying out the aforementioned studies is a contradiction in terms and that we have reservations about and are opposed to any further strengthening of the role of the Commission which helps bring about further integration."@en1
