"Mr President, once again, here in the European Parliament, I would like to raise an issue that concerns the fishermen of my country, the fishermen of the Mediterranean and everyone who cares about the environment.
The Greeks, and European fishermen generally, are subject to stringent restrictions – and rightly so – regarding fishing methods and tools, fishing times, etc.
Third countries, however – Turkish fishermen being a typical example – fish as and when they want, using whatever equipment they choose, so that fish stocks are reduced, the seas are degraded, the environment is degraded.
I think we should take initiatives regarding Turkey, so that that country carries out correct fishing practices. The environment comes first; and of course, when I say Turkey, I mean all third countries that fish using non-standard methods."@en1
