".
As stressed in a press release, we do not support this resolution because:
It does not respond to the immediate problem of workers’ wages, failing to clarify that fishermen (workers) pay for fuel, and that this is why the problem affects them directly (as it does the owners of the vast majority of small vessels);
It disregards the EU’s inertia and refusal to take the necessary decisions;
It does not table any specific proposals in relation to fuel prices (petrol and diesel) and as regards fish price formation at the initial point of sale;
It does not deplore a policy that takes advantage of escalating fuel prices to reduce and concentrate the sector even further, generate more unemployment, ensure the decline of a production sector and worsen the food and trade balances;
It falls well below positions adopted previously by the EP and proposed by the PCP;
In accordance with the recent proposals announced by the European Commission, and irrespective of one or two aspects which, if applied, could have positive effects for the sector, at bottom this resolution further encourages the scrapping of vessels and offers fishermen the alternative of giving up their occupation.
Because fisheries have a future, we call for measures such as the proposals in the resolution we presented to be adopted as a matter of urgency."@en1
