lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I would like to welcome the package proposed by the Commission. However, I would like to say – coming from Ireland – that Ireland never received its proper share from the Common Fisheries Policy, and that was reflected in the vote last week. It is high time for the European Union to demonstrate that it can provide assistance to the fishing industry in its time of need, as that industry is indeed in difficulty. It is the small fishers who are worst off in this regard. Ireland has 11% of the European seas but less than 4% of the quotas. The policy is not working. However, it is important now for the European Union to unite and to show that it can come to the assistance of fishers in their time of need. I ask that everything possible be done to promote this package and that it can be seen to work."@en1
