The fisheries sector appears to be sailing through calm seas at present. As the fishery reform negotiations draw to a close, the professionals are drawing up the balance sheet for the next 18 months.
With regard to public aid: while the Commission was pushing for an end to public aid from December 2002, the negotiations have led to the current scheme being prolonged until December 2004. Although the fishermen have been warned, the difficulties have not abated.
In Brittany, nearly 75% of the fleet needs replacing. The use of safe, new boats, equipped with the latest technology to make sailors’ work easier, should be widespread.
While hostilities in the public aid battle at Community level have been broken off for the moment, however, they will soon be resumed on the world stage. The Commission has presented a proposal to the World Trade Organisation asking for a ban on all subsidies in order to prevent overfishing, on the pretext of maintaining the sustainability of the fishing industry.
With regard to restructuring plans, we have the example of the Scottish cod restructuring plan, whose consequences we know: the collapse of those fisheries which can no longer operate, increased pressure on other fishing grounds and stocks of other fish species, and more considerable pressure on markets."@en1
