"Mr President, I would like to begin by thanking Willi Piecyk for the wonderful work he has done as rapporteur, because it is clearly crucial to Europe that it adopt an integrated and sustainable approach to marine management.
Activities that are essential to achieving the Lisbon objectives are carried out in the aquatic environment, but the sea also represents other values that are less commercial, but which relate to the most profound identity and culture of our peoples.
I regret that fishing has been rather blurred in this Green Paper, despite the fact that it is an exclusive competence of the Commission and the subject of a common policy. As well as its economic importance, fishing is crucial to maintaining jobs and culture in many European regions.
I am convinced that this sector will be one of the great beneficiaries of better integration with other policies relating to the sea, such as improving the training and living and working conditions of seafarers and increasing investment in research, which is crucial to understanding the way the seas and oceans work.
As a European from Galicia – a maritime region – I am convinced that this policy is going to play a crucial role for coastal regions, their towns and their people."@en1
