"Madam President, the Romanian border control forces have been detaining illegally for more than 10 days a Bulgarian fishing vessel and its captain, Hristo Spasov, apprehended 20 miles east of Romania’s Black Sea coast, an area outside the country’s territorial waters.
Equal access to the European Union’s waters and resources is one of the basic principles of the common fisheries policy. This principle is confirmed by Council Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002. Following the accession of Bulgaria and Romania to the European Union, both countries’ marine areas are part of the pan-European waters and the regulations are directly applicable in their national legislations.
The Bulgarian authorities have forwarded all the necessary documents to their Romanian counterparts, certifying that the vessel is entered in the European Union register and has all the permits for fishing in the Black Sea’s waters. In spite of this, there has been no progress on the Romanian side. The sole response has been that only Romanian legislation and the country’s constitution are applicable.
We express our deep concern that equal access to European Union waters continues to be a huge problem for professional fishermen. We call on our fellow MEPs from Romania and the Commission, as guardian of the Treaties, to intervene as mediators to resolve the matter."@en1
