If the EU partnership agreement were to be terminated with immediate effect, that would have serious consequences for several developing countries and for the many people affected. We cannot therefore simply say ‘no’ to the agreements which the EU has with other countries on fishing. However, we take scientific reports showing that the seas are being fished out very seriously indeed. We therefore want to change the EU’s fisheries policy so that it will lead to a recovery in fishing stocks. This must form part of a major review.
We do not see EU fisheries agreements as a viable means, in the long term, of combating poverty and supporting development.
We therefore want to support sustainable development in those countries for which current fisheries agreements with the EU are a major source of income by making changes to the EU’s trade and aid policy and through various forms of partnership.
The vessel owners should be accountable for the costs arising under the agreements from which they themselves draw benefit, and we want to see continued change in that direction. We therefore voted for Amendment 8, although that change should take place in a wider context."@en1
