".
Parliament has once again been called upon for its opinion on a strategy for the sustainable development of European aquaculture, as part of the ongoing reform of the common fisheries policy.
In theory, the objectives sought by the Commission are commendable: protecting the environment, creating long-term employment (in regions dependent on fishing where there is no alternative), giving consumers an assurance that the products are safe, and promoting research. In practice, however, this subject is of the utmost importance, since it deals with the procedures and conditions for Community aid to the aquaculture sector.
Granting aid to shellfish farmers where harvesting is suspended because of toxic algae enjoys my support. The Commission denies this aid, however, in cases of recurrent contamination, and thus creates unjustifiable discrimination among producers.
I also reject the proposal that the minimum length of time for harvesting to be suspended in order to qualify for aid should be six months, even at times when selling is intensive. This seems too long to me.
Finally, I once again regret the fact that representative professional organisations are excluded from work involved in applied research into the industry."@en1
