". Mr President, I would like to begin by expressing my agreement, as shadow rapporteur for this report, with the words of the rapporteur, Mrs Attwooll. I would like to announce that my Group is also going to support Mrs Attwooll’s report. I believe that we can see from reading this report that women’s networks play numerous roles in fishing areas and could play a greater and better role in the future. It is important to make the extremely important work carried out by women in this sector more visible and thereby to ensure that these activities are better valued and remunerated since, in many cases — as has already been said — women work for nothing and sometimes without any social protection. We still have a long way to go. The report also acknowledges the effort that the Commission has already made, holding the Conference on the role of women in the fisheries sector in 2003. We eagerly await the conference scheduled for 2006. There is still a lot to do, however. I am therefore pleased to have noted a change of emphasis on the part of the Commissioner, and this is very necessary for women in the fisheries sector. I believe that the measures that the Commission must take in order to support these networks must be aimed in four directions, which are indicated in the report: information, funding, representativeness and training. A more exhaustive report must be produced. I agree with the rapporteur that the report on women’s networks does not impress us very much. An exhaustive report must be drawn up, which accurately reflects the situation of the existing networks, and their development must then be monitored. Funding is required, since these networks are playing, and can play in future, more and better roles of public interest, from economic, social and also ecological points of view, and they therefore deserve funding instruments. The training that the Commissioner mentioned is needed. Aware of the important work done by women in the fisheries sector, the Commission should promote the education and training of young people in these activities so that they can take over this work in the future. As has already been demonstrated, certain situations provide examples, such as the situation of the shellfish gatherers. I therefore believe that we must support organisations of women that form around networks, so that they can achieve and consolidate better living conditions."@en1
