lpv:translated text	". The dwindling fish stocks at sea as a result of environmental pollution and overfishing are alarming. Catch quotas and even catch bans are becoming inevitable. This, however, does create a major problem for areas where a large proportion of the population depends on fishing for their jobs and income, and where the consumption of fish is proportionately high. This mainly applies to Spain and Portugal. These countries are also indignant about Danish fishing for the fish meal industry and about the much bigger Dutch ships, even if these are only active on a restricted number of fishing days. Despite the dangers at sea, many fishermen would ideally like to carry on, and even for those who would like a change, no replacement employment is being organised. Their interests often lead to the problem being denied, or continued scientific research. The main purpose of this research is to do nothing for the time being and delay the finding of a solution. My colleague, Mr Jové Peres has tried to take these conflicting interests into consideration and to bring them into line with each other. He has largely succeeded in this. There is one point in his approach to which I object. He is trying to shift the decision about catch quotas from the Commission to the Council. This is beneficial for an obstructive Member State but makes necessary radical interventions more difficult."@en1
