".
It is perfectly clear from the vote in favour of more and more obstacles to fisheries that all the ΕU wants is to establish a restrictive fisheries policy.
Policies so far have managed to reduce the number of vessels, especially coastal fishing vessels, hitting small family businesses hard and driving people out of this profession. On the pretext of maintaining fish stocks, the aim is to end subsidies and limit funding for fleet renewal, thereby accelerating the demise of small and medium-sized enterprises in countries such as Greece, where fisheries are traditionally of both social and economic importance.
The objective is to shift fisheries into the hands of large companies. This will destroy the social aspect of fisheries, which will become the exclusive preserve of a few fishermen employed by fisheries companies, who will be cut off in their work from their social roots. At the same time, the aim is to develop the fish farming sector during the course of overall increases in the production of all types of aquaculture products.
What we need is a change in general orientation and approach, which is not in the nature of the capitalist ΕU, together with an overall policy based on its interests, the interests of small and medium-sized farming and fishing enterprises, not the interests of big business."@en1
