"The June List believes that the EU should immediately cease concluding fisheries agreements with third countries. The common fisheries policy has led to many European waters being depleted of fish and to irrevocable damage to sensitive marine environments. The fisheries policy also has devastating global consequences. The fisheries agreements concluded by the EU with third countries generate short-term income for the countries concluding the agreements. In the longer term, the agreements lead, however, to the depletion of fish stocks and make it difficult for local fishing industries to develop. Only a limited amount of the compensation paid out goes to the local population. The agreements should be paid for by those countries or fleets that choose to make use of these agreements. The fisheries agreements should not be concluded at all within the framework of the EU.
The report contains a positive amendment to the effect that the financial contributions should also be used for the development of coastal populations dependent on fisheries for their living (Amendment 2). The report as a whole emphasises, however, that the agreements are of benefit both to the EU and to third countries. We do not share this view and have thus voted against what is being proposed on this matter. The position that we are expressing through this explanation of vote constitutes the attitude that we have adopted on principle where this issue is concerned. The explanation of vote will thus apply to future matters of a similar kind."@en1
