"Mr President, I would like to thank all the Members for their contributions. Having so many speeches is very encouraging. I understood that the word mentioned most was sustainability, so sustainability is a general agreement, a framework for general agreement. I cannot answer all the points that were raised but I would like to underline some priorities. Small-scale fisheries and coastal regions are a priority. I would like to reassure all of you that I will take your contributions on this issue very seriously. I would also like to reassure you that I have no intention of introducing heavy measures and rules on hobby anglers. Second priority: regionalisation. I would very much like to discuss with you in further detail exactly what we are doing to implement this principle, because here, we have a lot to talk about. Transferable fishery rights: this is, I understand already, a very engaged debate with a lot of arguments. I do not know what will happen during the vote, but we cannot ignore this issue. A lot of Member States are implementing this system already. So what I propose is having a clear discussion, maybe within the Committee on Fisheries. Since this is not the end of the dialogue, we can have a clear discussion about ITQs – I see Mrs Fraga is here – we can organise a good discussion to understand the whole issue. Just to mention some other priorities: a clear level playing field for the Mediterranean and the other areas as regards fishermen from other countries – this is correct; we have to do it to secure fair competition for our fishermen and fisherwomen; phasing out discards; labelling. These are our priorities. I would like to end by underlining the need for a new form for fisheries agreements; a new form that will include a human rights clause. Thank you for your contributions. I think that this is not the end of the dialogue; this is the start of a very good debate between us."@en1
