"From research carried out by scientific experts on over 54% of Mediterranean fish stocks, it emerged that they are fished to well above sustainable levels. The EU ‘Mediterranean Regulation’ has been in force since 1 June and aims to improve the management of fisheries in order to facilitate sustainability, to protect the fragile marine environment, and to restore fish stocks to healthy levels. In my opinion, however, it is not prudent to assume that regulations or the European Union alone can ensure the management of fisheries in the Mediterranean. The involvement of all countries that border the Mediterranean, such as my own, is crucial and the EU is making every effort to play an active part through multilateral organisations, such as the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean and the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas, to improve scientific knowledge and guarantee equal conditions in order to promote sustainability. At the same time, it is essential to protect local fishery traditions and coastal habitats to be able to avoid displacing the populations that have been established there for a long time and that often rely on fish as their main source of livelihood. I therefore rely on EU decisions to take into account both sustainability and local development."@en1
