"Fish is a healthy food, and we should do everything possible to promote a sustainable fish sector to provide it. This includes developing a legislative framework which helps the aquaculture sector to deliver a secure supply of high-quality, healthy food and better protection for the environment. Over-fishing of wild stocks has devastating impacts on delicate coastal and river environments, as well as on local communities.
Aquaculture has the potential to address all these concerns – by reducing pressure on wild stocks and biodiversity, and by creating jobs in coastal and rural regions. As co-legislators, we must take the opportunity to shape future legislation in the right way.
We should pay particular attention to animal welfare in any future legislation. High standards of animal welfare vastly improve the productivity of farmed fish – and therefore the competitiveness of the sector – as well as ensuring better product quality for consumers and a better product for the industry to market.
Whilst developing legislation to facilitate these aims, we must also ensure that imports are closely monitored and comply with the EU’s own high standards, to protect both our industry and consumers."@en1
