"I voted in favour of the resolution.
Experience gained via the use of a discard system in the Baltic Sea shows that the system works well and is practicable for certain species of fish. Species making up by-catches may have a low market value, they may be completely unsuitable for human consumption, or it might be illegal to land them. The foundations are therefore being laid for the sustainable exploitation of fish stocks, without any need for marketing standards to be lowered. In order to prevent by-catches effectively and limit the discard of a number of juvenile and under-sized specimens, it is absolutely vital that the fishing industry should be encouraged to use the most selective fishing gear and not to fish in areas in which there are large numbers of under-sized fish and non-target species.
Variable closed periods should also be introduced that fit in with fish spawning cycles. The climate in the Baltic Sea is changing, and different species of fish are adapting to this, meaning that their migration and spawning patterns are also changing. In the light of these considerations, a review of the protection areas would appear necessary."@en1
