"Mr President, welcome Commissioner. I would like to express my satisfaction at the European Commission’s proposal of establishing more favourable conditions for Member States that are in serious difficulties, or under threat of such difficulties relating to their financial stability, to really benefit from the European Fisheries Fund (EFF). I second the rapporteur’s highlighting of the urgent need to adopt this proposal at first reading.
However, I believe the proposal could and should have gone a little further. I believe there are two key issues to be taken into account in this context, which should not, in fact, be separated. Firstly, that it covers all measures that facilitate the increase in the rate of execution of the EFF; secondly, that it should focus on the possibility of revising the priorities of the EFF and even reprogramming it, so as to adapt it better to the real needs of a specific time and place. This is the only way it will be possible to achieve the fundamental objective of not only increasing execution rates, but also optimising results; that is, of promoting reproductive investments and guaranteeing a genuinely positive impact on fishing communities.
In this context, I would highlight two key issues that correspond to the two aims I have just set out. The first of these is the requirement to take into consideration the fact that each community could have specific needs, to which the EFF should respond appropriately, such as modernising boats in terms of safety, hygiene and environmental best practices; in relation to this latter aspect, environmentally friendly fishing techniques and increasingly less polluting engines are particularly important. There should be provision for these actions.
It is also important to take into account the resolution recently adopted by Parliament on the multifunctionality of fisheries and their capacity for producing public goods, which draws attention to the variety of activities downstream from fishing and to the sharing of benefits throughout society that results from it. It should, therefore, be possible to apply the funds flexibly and in a variety of areas."@en1
