The fisheries policy pursued by the EU is not, and has never been, based on well thought-out, joint decisions. Fish stocks in Europe have declined dramatically in recent years, and very little is being done to change this situation. The fisheries policy that the EU should advocate must be permeated by long-term and far-sighted thinking.
However, Mr Busk’s report does in many ways represent a positive change. The explanatory statement claims, among other things, that the recovery of cod is a matter of utmost importance and that the best method would be to completely prohibit cod fishing, even if this measure is subsequently rejected. Unfortunately, the amendments to the report do not reflect the concern that Mr Busk expressed in the explanatory statement.
The proposed amendments are far too feeble to have any real significance. It is very unfortunate that the way is being opened for a review of the already inadequate regulation of fishing effort once cod stocks ‘have substantially improved’. It is reasonable to suggest that the focus should instead be on safeguarding recovery to a greater extent than is happening at present. Only then can we begin to talk about a possible review. The report therefore sends out completely the wrong signals, to the effect that the problem will soon be solved and we should then start to review the system. The opposite is in fact the case. I therefore voted against the report."@en1
