".
Firstly, I wish to underline the fact that the whole question of control and enforcement is the primary responsibility of the Member States. If the Commission receives information that there might be a breach of the
i.e. of the regulations concerning the common fisheries policy, then it will investigate whether the Member States are effecting controls. The Commission carries out enquiries and it is as a result of these enquiries that infringement proceedings are initiated against Member States. This is exactly what has happened with regard to the infringement proceedings against France, Italy and Spain.
It is important to underline that we were hoping to have the Mediterranean regulation adopted in the Council last month. This would have included a definition of driftnets, which are banned by the 1988 regulation. Unfortunately, the Council did not adopt this regulation last September. We will be trying our luck again soon, in the hope that we can secure a long overdue regulation governing fisheries in the Mediterranean, which would give the Commission increased powers to ensure that fisheries are carried out properly and within the limits of sustainability."@en1
