"Mr President, at 4.30 yesterday morning, Ministers in the Agriculture and Fisheries Council finished their deliberations on the common fisheries policy and put great emphasis, for hour after hour, on the need for a fishery-by-fishery approach based upon multiannual plans. Of course, all this was a chimera, a nonsense, a fraud, so long as they continue to block the creation of these multiannual plans. The Council wants to be able to continue to allow Ministers to set TACs and quotas each year because they have been a brilliant success over the years. We know they have – every year they have met in December and set TACs and quotas above the scientific recommendations, which is the reason we have such a depletion of our fish stocks today. Not surprisingly, some Members of this Parliament would like to tie the hands of Ministers a little and commit them to long-term management plans that make some sense, but we recognise what the Treaty says, and there was a genuine dispute between the powers of Parliament and the powers of the Council which must be resolved, and will only be resolved by us getting round the table and negotiating. Struan Stevenson said that he was looking to the Cypriot Presidency to put this on the agenda, but I look to the Danish Presidency. You have two weeks. I do not ask you to seek a solution, but what I do ask the Presidency to do is to come forward with a procedure for reaching a solution. The sooner the Council and Parliament sit round the table and start negotiating, the sooner we will be able to put multiannual plans at the heart of a sensible fishing policy."@en1
