".
As stated in the plan of implementation from the World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg, ‘oceans, seas, islands and coastal areas form an integrated and essential component of the Earth’s ecosystem and are critical for global food security.’ Protection of the marine environment, particularly the conservation of its biodiversity, must be considered a priority, and further action in the field of marine protection, a true coastal policy and promotion of sustainable use of the seas are all needed.
We therefore agree with the rapporteur that a strategy in this field must integrate the following: the precautionary principle; the development of protection and conservation measures; an integrated approach to all human activities impacting on the marine environment; an integrated approach in the management of fishing effort; and a regional approach, taking into account regional diversities and respect for their ‘ecological characteristics and socio-economic aspects’, without forgetting that there are other causes of marine pollution.
Hence we consider that the recent Commission proposal for the management of fishing effort in the Atlantic calls into question the objectives of conservation and the ability of Portugal, in particular, to carry out conservation measures in its exclusive economic zone."@en1
