lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, firstly we welcome the reduction, if not the complete elimination, of paper quotas: this is a more realistic approach. Secondly, the establishment of a relationship between financial compensation for fishing rights and payment for development is an improvement in the agreement. In the Commission's press release in June it noted that these two aspects have been separated. As a result, it should now be possible to identify clearly what has been paid for. It should also allow for greater transparency and accountability. While this is very welcome, it does not give much detail. I would like the Commission to give us more details as to what is going to be funded by the development fund and how it is going to be managed. Whilst this is a welcome change in the way in which the Commission looks at fisheries agreements, it should take the same approach with the ACP agreements. The Commission says that this is too difficult for all sorts of reasons, though it was one of the focal points in the recent partnership agreement discussion paper which the Commission produced. We want to see this approach taken in the ACP agreements as well. This kind of approach, separating development from what is actually being paid for the fishing rights is extremely important, as has been mentioned by other speakers. If it is possible for Greenland, then it should also be possible for the ACP countries."@en1
