"Mr President, fish stocks are depleting, our fishing ports are closing, fish markets are closing, stocks of fish are getting smaller, the fish themselves that we catch are getting smaller and therefore it is vitally important this report goes through and the Commission accept it and act on it, and that was why I voted in favour of it.
If we allow illegal fishing to continue, then of course it is a global issue. The seas are depleting right across the world and therefore all actions must be taken in a global manner. I follow my fellow colleague, Mr Kelly, who talked about discards – a huge and utter waste of a valuable material. Why on earth are we allowing this to continue? I think the Commission must look seriously at the whole common fisheries policy. We must put in draconian measures to stop those who buy the illegal fish and then sell them on the market.
Finally, I would just like to thank the rapporteur for mentioning the GSP. As vice-Chair of the International Trade Committee, GSP is a big issue; it does affect fishing and it affects all trade agreements throughout the European Union. I look forward to following that report and looking at the fishing."@en1
