"I voted in favour of Parliament’s resolution on the contribution of the common fisheries policy (CFP) to the production of common goods, since the European fisheries sector contributes to the social development of the European Union through the creation of over 350 000 jobs, both directly and indirectly. The European fisheries sector also contributes to economic growth in Europe by providing 6.4 million tonnes of fish each year and by generating EUR 34.2 billion in annual earnings.
Considering that social, economic and environmental sustainability are important CFP objectives, I emphasise that the top priority of this policy should be the establishment of a sustainable fisheries sector in order to ensure that future generations will continue to enjoy the benefits of fishing. The CFP reform, alongside other key EU initiatives in the area of maritime affairs, contributes to achieving the EU goals for an ecological economy, and also to creating jobs and eradicating poverty.
I voted in favour of paragraph 23, which urges the Commission to find a legal solution that would enable fishermen to develop other sources of income within the wide range of ‘fishery-linked activities’ without being financially penalised."@en1
