". The EU fishing agreement with Morocco ended in 1999. Since then, Moroccan demands have meant that it has not been possible to conclude another agreement. Because of this non-renewal, the Community fleet has fallen victim to a large number of restrictions. This situation has affected 400 vessels and 4 300 fishermen. This was a sector that did not need this situation to reach crisis point, since the main countries affected were Spain and Portugal, especially the Algarve. The Community fleet must not be the silent victim of the impasse that the negotiations with Morocco have reached. The conversion of the fleet and restrictions on fishing did not happen as a result of the fishermen’s own choice but were imposed on them. Some have been forced to ground their vessels, while others have had to change the direction of their work. Sustained socio-economic flanking measures are therefore needed to alleviate the dire effects of this failure to renew the agreement with Morocco. The EU has a to help to save this sector in crisis. This proposal makes provision precisely for greater flexibility by extending the deadline for granting aid and removing certain restrictions. Henceforth, fishermen will be able to receive their payments irrespective of the destruction or export of the vessel on which they worked. The aim is to treat all fishermen fairly and to include as many fishermen from the Community fleet as possible."@en1
