"Mr Barroso, you are regarded as a champion of environmental protection, and I congratulate you for it.
In fact, last week we had good news because it was finally decided that bluefin tuna, which is facing collapse, would be protected by including it in the list of species protected by CITES. In this respect, I call for this temporary support to become permanent support.
The problem and global paradox in all this is that it is the neoliberal policies that you have advocated to date which have led us into this situation, because they are policies which simply privatise profit and socialise costs.
In this respect, we are facing a serious problem with the environment. For years we have been subsidising fleets, which have depleted our seas and which, in this precise context, are, in many cases, jointly responsible for the disaster. They are now asking for money to overcome the situation which we have caused.
This is absurd and truly difficult to justify democratically. We cannot make these mistakes with people’s money.
We therefore call for the common fisheries policy to be revised, specifically based on these new principles."@en1
