lpv:translated text	"Mr President, first of all I should like to extend warm thanks to Mrs Attwooll for managing to pinpoint exactly what the role and significance of women in the fisheries industry can be. The work of women is often invisible, and Mrs Attwooll’s report helps at any rate to bring it into the light. The fisheries industry is a heavy industry, one with regrettably long working hours and also dangerous work. More women on the ships can help improve working conditions there. Work that is too heavy or dangerous for women is often detrimental to men too. In many sectors, it has turned out that, as soon as women joined their ranks, the working conditions improved. Greater involvement of women in the safety of ships is essential to make actual progress in this area. A concern for sustainability is something else we can expect from women and women’s networks. Sustainable fishing is essential to provide future generations with fish. Sustainable catching methods with minimal bycatch and sound monitoring are essential. The quotas will be laid down this month, and it is very important to take the scientific recommendations into consideration; if not, future generations will be fishing behind the net, something of which women often bear the brunt. It may be time to adopt fresh policy, to experiment with fish reserves for a few years, to put fish reserves on the map, or to give fish stocks the chance to recover. The maritime strategy that is now being prepared is an appropriate time to hold the discussion on this. I would invite everyone to involve women in particular in this discussion in all countries. Women often trade in, and buy, fish. The viability of sustainable fishing is dependent on the full involvement of consumers, as also on the introduction of quality marks that guarantee quality and sustainability. It is good to involve women in this as much as possible. In short, like Mrs Attwooll, I have great expectations where women are concerned."@en1
