"Mr President, the Dutch Party for Freedom (PVV) warned a number of years ago that the Treaty of Lisbon would cause major problems for the Member States. We were ridiculed, but we are seeing again today that we were right. When it comes to the European fisheries policy, the Council had control over quite a few issues, but, thanks to the Treaty of Lisbon, that authority has now also been given away to the Commission. This is a cardinal error, as we will see.
There are herring swimming around in Scotland’s coastal waters, and lots of them. The Commission now needs the authority to determine the maximum fish birth and death rates. If the herring decide to move to another area, the application of the plan must not be jeopardised.
Mr President, this is truly too crazy for words. If this Parliament believes it can regulate the biological characteristics of herring it has completely lost the plot – whether on the basis of the loathsome Treaty of Lisbon or not! This fact will just be observed one more time.
While we are on the subject, the Dutch Party for Freedom (PVV) believes that all EU fisheries policy should simply be brought back into the competence of the Member States. We believe this because the Member States would do a much better job, as we can see again today."@en1
