"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I should like to inform the House of the disastrous situation in which the Polish fishing industry has found itself as a result of the protective measures put in place by the European Union. One can only assume that these measures are intended to wipe out Poland’s Baltic fisheries, and it is already an established fact that they led to a significant rise in unemployment in coastal regions after Poland joined the European Union. We Poles have been forced to accept absurd catch limits that will do nothing whatsoever to help protect stocks. There is no biological or economic justification for these limits, and it is my firm belief that they were arrived at on the basis of political considerations. To date, the Commission has failed to propose any solutions that would allow Polish fishermen to catch up with their Western counterparts. Most importantly, no proposals have been made regarding ways in which EU funds could be used to modernise the fishing fleet."@en1
