"Mr President, I too should like to add my warm thanks to Mrs Attwooll for her work, her report and the way in which she has put the women’s networks in Europe on the map. I am also indebted to the Commissioner. It is not the first time that he displays great social concern in the fisheries sector. I should also like to thank him for the way in which he wants to actively involve all social strata within the fisheries industry.
Why is that so important? There are three points why it is vital that the scope of fisheries is widened to include factors other than economic ones. What is apparent to me from the shrimp crisis in my own region, and the role that VinVis has played in this, is that the women’s network has contributed towards a solution, and I have to conclude quite simply that it is very much to be welcomed that the fisheries sector is being broadened socially speaking.
I am also delighted that this network has now been given its rightful place in the regional advisory council for the North Sea. It is of particular importance, though, in the area of training, social position, and economic impact on the fisheries industry. If I consider the high fuel prices and a number of other factors which certainly have social implications within the fisheries industry, then I consider it to be a good thing that the women’s network, VinVis, but also other organisations, are given their rightful place.
In that respect, I was also very taken with the hearing which the rapporteur organised in July that involved a large number of women’s organisations, and I think it would be good if activities of this kind were also organised by Parliament and the Commission.
I would once again like to thank the rapporteur for this report and I hope that the Commissioner will also follow up the recommendations. His response in this respect creates reasonably positive expectations to this effect, and I hope that we politicians will also ensure that all social strata within the fisheries industry are given their rightful place within the sector."@en1
