lpv:translated text	"Mr President, even though I am not a member of the Committee on Fisheries, I have now and again ventured to intervene in this debate concerning fisheries. I am doing so today too. I am doing so because I am in such despair about the fact that we shall not be able to bring about a strict recovery plan, not only for hake but also for other species such as cod and other threatened white fish. This plan for the Northern hake stock was adopted in December, and the objective was clear: to protect the stocks and obtain an acceptable level of security. The truth is that the Council and the Commission together have weakened the original proposal so that it no longer complies with that objective. I think that the proposal that has now been negotiated by the Committee on Fisheries is very poor. I absolutely cannot vote in favour of it because it would further weaken an already weakened proposal. An absolute minimum would be to stick to the Commission’s original proposal, because stricter controls are needed. Economics and social problems, which are always referred to, are also important issues but, if we do not apply the precautionary principle when it comes to the biomass and fish stocks, we quite simply do not make it possible for fisheries to continue. That is something we should appreciate. We have now rejected four or five recovery plans from the Commission. It quite simply has to be realised that neither in this House nor in the Council is there any political will to adopt measures that genuinely take account of the precautionary principle and guarantee that we have fisheries in the future too. I am very concerned about what this will lead to. I should like more people to fall in with my policy when we vote on this matter, for I am now beginning to become extremely impatient and anxious."@en1
