lpv:translated text	"Commissioner, how can we convince you to restore state aid? You are as stubborn on this issue as a deep-sea fisherman. You have conceded a small amount of ground for vessels less than 12 metres long, which is positive. In my view, however, it is not because the money is public money that fish are disappearing! And you are well aware that without state aid, deep-sea fishermen, or a number of them at least, will prolong the life of their boats, using them for sea-fishing for longer. An old boat, however, is a dangerous boat. An old trawler is as dangerous as an old oil tanker. Here are the statistics from France, which were published a few weeks ago. According to the ‘Accident Investigation’ Bureau, there have been 30 shipwrecks and 22 people have died. What sort of boats are involved, however? All of them were more than 30 years old – that is obvious. Above all, however, most of them were modernised some months or not long before, in other words destabilised and made heavier, because fishermen have no other choice. I therefore believe and hope that, in December, you will also find an answer for vessels over 12 metres long as well, in other words, for small-scale fishing, which is dependent not only on the size of boats but on the skipper being on board too. You want to find a solution without increasing capacity. Fine. Small-scale fishing has no proper funding and so, without a boost from the state, nothing will change. For my part, I believe we need a solution other than ‘nothing’, so I hope that you will adopt a slightly more flexible approach by the end of our debate."@en1
