lpv:translated text	"Mr President, like the chairman of our Committee on Fisheries, I too have the privilege of speaking late this evening and I have the special privilege of acting on behalf of my coordinator, Mr Varela Suanzes-Carpegna. I should like to concur with what the chairman of the Committee on Fisheries has said, also in relation to the very difficult issue that is being discussed there. If you consider the situation in those coastal strips with much domestic unrest and wars, it remains to be seen to what extent we, once the situation has improved, can also employ fisheries policy to improve the situation in the country itself. Provided the money we invest in the fisheries agreements is well spent, Europe could play a greater role on that score too. On behalf of the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) and European Democrats, I am disappointed about the amendments on this subject tabled by the Liberal Group. I would have preferred to see more of a social component in them, and I back anything that can improve the situation in the African countries in relation to fisheries agreements. However, it is essential for all aspects to be discussed in depth. Once again, though, I wish to concur with the words of the chairman of the Committee on Fisheries. I have also noticed that these are widely supported, and I would ask the Commission on the one hand, for an all-out effort for the African countries, including a wise spending plan of the money from the fisheries agreements, but on the other, we consider it essential for the social components also to be taken into consideration. I am therefore looking forward to the Commission’s reaction, as well as Parliament’s."@en1
