lpv:translated text	". Following the accession of Spain and Portugal to the European Union, a period of seven years was laid down in 1995 in which the fleets of these countries were denied access to, for example, the North Sea and the Irish Box. Last December this restrictive measure lapsed. In this report the Commission is coming forward with a new regulation to regulate the access of, for example, Spanish fishing vessels to the Irish Box. The attempt by the Commission to eliminate discrimination between the Member States in fleet access is laudable, but it is the fish stocks that lose out. On the accession of Spain and Portugal it was impossible to foresee what disastrous changes would overtake fish stocks. Since 1996 the opportunities to catch fish in the area in question have fallen sharply. The Commission is itself – please note – of the opinion that the maximum level of fishing in these areas requires urgent revision or reduction. None of this is consistent. Equal opportunities for all Member States is a fine starting point, but better still is a full sea in which there is enough to fish. That must be our first priority. A revision of the allocation formula can therefore only be considered when fish stocks have been restored to sufficient levels of abundance."@en1
