"Mr President, I would like to congratulate Mr Ferreira on his excellent work. In view of the financial situation the EU Member States find themselves in, this report is of fundamental significance for the fisheries sector. We should take this opportunity to pay particular attention to the situation of small-scale fisheries, which are most exposed to the effects of the current economic situation in Europe. The common fisheries policy currently being discussed in the Committee on Fisheries devotes a separate chapter to this area of fisheries. This is extremely important not only economically, but also culturally. Tradition, the continued existence of an occupation, the ability to pass on experience, and, most importantly, responsibility, has always been associated with this form of fishery. We should ensure that this occupation can continue to survive and create conditions encouraging the younger generations to practise this occupation, so that this generational tradition does not disappear.
The European Fisheries Fund must therefore act as a form of assistance, to support the development of the industry, and not as an instrument encouraging fishermen to give up their jobs. Member States must, with the support of the European Commission, and in the framework of the European Fisheries Fund, pursue a balanced policy not only in the context of the natural environment, but also in the context of the fishing environment. I congratulate the rapporteur, and I would like to say that we will support the report."@en1
