"Next year, the European Parliament will debate the reform of the common fisheries policy (CFP). I agree that this process must include measures to improve the sustainable exploitation of fishery resources and the effective management of marine resources. As the International Maritime Organisation has indicated, the Baltic Sea is a ‘particularly sensitive sea area’. This places the Baltic Sea among the most sensitive marine ecosystems in the world, but we also must not forget the human side of this issue which is not mentioned in the report. The fishing industry has deep-rooted traditions in Lithuania. Although the fisheries sector accounts for a relatively small proportion of Lithuania’s GDP, it is particularly important for the Lithuanian economy. Regions of Lithuania that are dependent on fishing have suffered significant economic and social difficulties in recent years due to declining fishing levels and stock conservation policy.
In Lithuania, it is now becoming increasingly difficult to make a living from fishing related activities. Due to low pay, such work is unattractive to young people. Consequently, Lithuania and other EU Member States must continue to implement most of the policies defined under the European Fisheries Fund. This assistance will help to create new jobs, will increase the value of fishery products and will promote eco-tourism, etc."@en1
