lpv:translated text	". Mr President, I am speaking on behalf of the Committee on Women’s Rights and Gender Equality and I must say that the work done by women throughout the fisheries sector and particularly in inshore fishing, should be given greater legal and social recognition. Although just 3% of women take part in extractive fishing, many women are intensely involved in the other activities relating to fishing. With an economic structure made up mainly of small family businesses, the majority of women work very hard but have no economic or social rights, since they do not have a sufficiently clear work status, and in many cases they work in conditions that are highly prejudicial to their health. As we state in the report, therefore, it is urgent for both the Commission and the Member States to take the measures necessary to guarantee all of these women their rights. Furthermore, women working in this sector should have access to funding, to credits and professional training under equal conditions to men. We must also guarantee that women participate in the decision-making, representative and advisory bodies of the communities dedicated to inshore fishing. At a time when the sector is undergoing restructuring, significant changes are taking place that affect women directly or indirectly and both men and women must therefore take part in the search for solutions. We would therefore like a recommendation from the Commission to the relevant bodies to the effect that they should take the appropriate measures to ensure that they contain a balance of men and women. The lack of data broken down by gender makes it extremely difficult to seek solutions to the problems faced by women working in the sector. We would therefore call upon the Commission, by means of the European Gender Equality Institute, to find a rapid solution to this issue. Making these women more visible also requires using correct language to reflect the fact that there are men and women in the fisheries sector, and not just men. I am therefore very much in favour, and we support, the proposal that the rapporteur has also just advocated to change the word ‘fishermen’ to ‘fishing communities’ in the title of this report. Ladies and gentlemen, we cannot allow groups such as women working in inshore fisheries to go unprotected. The Committee on Women's Rights and Gender Equality calls for greater recognition of the work of these women and for solutions to the specific problems stemming from that work to be found."@en1
