"Mr President, the report on inshore fishing and the problems facing inshore fishermen accurately describes their current situation. In Poland a large number of old vessels were scrapped as part of the reforms. The limited viability of catches as well as a lack of financial resources means that it has been impossible for them to be replaced. A large number of family businesses involved in fishing and fish processing have closed down. At the moment, on the coast itself, it is difficult to buy fresh fish, something that used to attract tourists and holidaymakers. There has been a significant flow of people, and young people in particular, away from the fishing industry. The measures proposed in the report include access to cheap fuel, financial and investment aid for fishermen and family enterprises and career training and education for young fishermen and those interested in a career in fishing. These measures can successfully counteract the marginalisation of this fishing sector. The implementation of these measures would facilitate the maintenance of existing jobs and the creation of new jobs in regions where there is currently high unemployment. This kind of aid is important in social and economic terms and guarantees consumers the uniqueness of a local cuisine based on fresh fish. The launch of the European Fisheries Fund is particularly important. Adopting the report and implementing the proposals it contains will be welcomed with great gratitude by fishermen. I would like to thank Mr Ó Neachtain for drawing up this report. I support the rapporteur’s recommendations."@en1
