lpv:translated text	"Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to congratulate rapporteur Albert Jan Maat on a timely report. My country, Estonia, is surrounded by sea on two sides, and on the third by a large lake. Fish have played an important role in our economy and culture for centuries, and we know well how complicated and sensitive a topic this is. The fifty-year-long Cold War and arms race also took place in the area of fisheries. Their legacy is enormous fishing capacities and fish stocks that cannot be restored. In order to restore the natural cycle, fishing must be reduced by as much as 60% in some places. Former fishermen are unable to find other work, and fishing boats purchased with European Union aid are now being made into scrap metal with European Union aid. The replenishment of eel stocks will be a test of international cooperation. Glass eels are threatened by demand from Asia, and the passage of eels of reproductive age from inland waters to the sea is influenced by man-made obstacles, such as the dam of the Russian-owned hydroelectric power station on the Estonian border. Such problems cannot be solved without effective international cooperation. I expect effective action from Member States and the European Commission in the international arena. I do not, however, expect intervention on a detailed level. I am glad that this report introduces an amendment to the initial text, which had established fishing restrictions for specific periods. Traditional fishing families in coastal villages know best how to fish sustainably, but industrial fishing on the high seas has brought their lifestyle to the brink of extinction. They too need purposeful support: without them and their knowledge, it may prove impossible to restore a sustainable fishery in Estonia. Thank you for your attention."@en1
