lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I too wish to congratulate the rapporteur on the truly wonderful report he has prepared for us. Inshore fishing is of great importance. It is of economic, social, cultural and environmental importance. It is of economic importance because it secures an income in what are often poor remote island areas. It is of social importance because most are small family businesses and, if this type of fishing is lost, they too will be lost. It is of cultural importance because these areas have a strong element of tradition and, if these fishermen go, a slice of European culture will be lost with them. It is of environmental importance because this type of fishing does not damage or causes the minimum possible damage compared with other types. We must not forget that 44% of the labour force in fishing is engaged in inshore fishing and that 75% of the fishing fleet in the European Union is engaged in inshore fishing. These two statistics tell us a great deal. I wish to say that inshore fishing needs to be protected and, when we say protected, we mean safe boats. People who go out fishing must believe that they will return home safely, which is why we must support modernisation. Young people need to be attracted to this profession because the population is aging, they need to be able to sell their products, so that middlemen do not eat up money which should end up in the pockets of fishermen and consumers, problems need to be addressed, such as rising prices and, finally, we need to make a huge effort to keep our seas clean, so that we have fish in our seas for a thousand and one other reasons."@en1
