".
We abstained on this report, as on the other two fisheries reports. Of course we are in favour of the recovery of fish stocks, and particularly cod stocks, which are threatened, as highlighted by another report debated at this sitting. However, we do not trust either the European institutions or the states themselves to do this.
Sometimes this translates into weak-willed measures, and one report confirms that these have been scuppered by various Member States of the European Union, resulting in the continual dramatic decline of the stocks of some fish species. Other times, it results in measures presented as being essential to save nature, while the main, if not the only, effect they have is to persecute the people, in this case those for whom fishing is their livelihood. We should remember that this takes place without any of the big guns having anything to fear. The contrary is shown to be true by the assessment of the multi-annual guidance programmes for the fishing fleets, presented at this sitting.
What sense would it make to have a preserved environment if the price was the misfortune of men, or at least the majority of them, those who live off their job?"@en1
