Mr President, I am grateful to the commissioner for one comment he made in particular, which is that he is prepared to reconsider the Commission’s position on the issue of comitology. I welcome the news because Parliament has clearly shown that, throughout this debate in the Committee on Fisheries, it does not agree with the Commission’s keenness – also apparent in the draft Green Paper on the reform of the Common Fisheries Policy – to turn to the subject of comitology excessively and with particular interest.
In addition, the Commission justifies this in the Green Paper, alleging that proceedings may now be delayed, given the codecision procedure that Parliament is going to apply to the area of fisheries for the first time, once the Treaty of Lisbon comes into effect.
I do not believe this to be true; I feel that legislative procedures are often delayed not because of Parliament or the codecision procedure but, rather, because sometimes the Commission is also late in presenting its proposals. In my view, this is a matter of interest and one that should be debated.
I understand the commissioner’s point when he says that with a regulation as technical as this one, some aspects have to be decided by comitology and cannot all be dealt with by the Council.
However, I think, Commissioner, that there is a certain difference between what you consider to be ‘technical’ and what we in Parliament consider to be ‘technical’. We are more restrictive than you tend to be.
As a final point – I do not wish to spend too long on a matter for which I am not the rapporteur – I wish to mention the one net rule. Commissioner, during the debates we had in the Committee on Fisheries, it became apparent that the Commission defends this principle chiefly for reasons of control.
We all understand that the issue of control is a great deal simpler with the single net rule, but this matter also poses serious problems for certain fisheries, as you are indeed aware.
Therefore, let us not always use the issue of control in order to be highly restrictive at times, for some decisions do not always need to be made."@en1
