lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, if we are to prevent North Sea cod from disappearing completely, a ‘save the cod’ campaign is urgently required. The question is how. In its definitive recovery plan for cod, the Commission introduces an effort limitation system. This system has already been proving its worth in the Netherlands for a long time in the form of the ‘days at sea’ system, a system that enables effective control of fishing pressure. Nevertheless, the plan also has the inevitable drawbacks. It only applies to vessels over ten metres in length, even though shorter vessels do play a part in cod fishing. The same goes for sport fishing. Industrial fishing, which regularly makes large by-catches of cod, is even left virtually untouched. The proportionality of the measures to be taken is unclear. The recovery plan should be less of a hindrance to the activities of fishermen whose by-catches of cod are small than to those of fishermen whose contribution to the problem is comparatively great. Incidentally, the impact of the various types of fishing can only be gauged accurately if the discards, too, are landed. There is no proposal to do this."@en1
