"It is of course desirable and necessary to reduce unwanted by-catches and discards, but it should not be done by legislation.
As it is impossible to mention all the aspects raised in the report, we welcome the adoption of our amendment that ‘points out that the impact of small-scale fishing on discards is minimal, and therefore calls for greater Community support for the promotion and development of small-scale inshore and artisanal fishing’.
We regret the rejection of our proposals that emphasised:
that in order to lay down suitable measures to promote a real reduction in discards it is first necessary to establish and analyse the various causes that give rise to discards, such as commercial reasons (linked to price, marketing, maximising the value of fish), catches of fish below the minimum landing sizes or by-catches;
that a detailed study needs to be made of the measures to be adopted and of their impact on the socio-economic situation in the industry;
the importance of voluntary reductions in fishing effort and the putting in place of mechanisms to make it possible for fishermen to be granted financial compensation for that effort and the adoption of positive market intervention measures to combat discards (guaranteed marketing of fish at fair prices and the development of the canning industry)."@en1
