The sustainability of fishery resources is essential for guaranteeing fishing activity and the viability of the fishing industry in the long term.
Safeguarding the sustainability of resources by implementing long-term plans and short-term measures must without question involve an assessment of their socio-economic consequences and, as a result, the provision of financial resources guaranteeing the continued existence of vessels, employment and income in the industry and for fishermen. In our opinion, this is the relationship which best expresses and which must be at the root of the application of the maximum sustainable yield principle.
In other words, the ‘maximum sustainable yield’ must not be used as an instrument to promote (even further) the scrapping of vessels and the destruction of jobs.
The plans and measures for ensuring the sustainability of resources must be based on scientific fisheries research, not forgetting other measures which take account of the consequences of natural factors and those stemming from human activities with an impact on marine ecosystems. This is why we proposed the introduction in the report of the need to increase the appropriations earmarked for scientific fisheries research in the Seventh Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development.
Finally, we must stress that the participation of fishermen in the definition of all these policies is fundamental."@en1
