"Mr President, thank you for giving me this opportunity to explain our views on this particular issue. I would like to congratulate Mr Stevenson, my ECR colleague, on getting this vote through and for the support he obtained. But actually, when you look at the common fisheries policy overall, it is quite clear it has been a failure. It has been an exercise in central planning: it might as well be called a Communist fisheries policy because it has led to unsustainable seas with not enough fish stocks.
Surely the lesson we should be learning as we go forward with any fisheries policy is that in the best ones – the ones that have worked, the ones from Iceland, New Zealand, the Falkland Islands and other areas – you have a fisheries policy based on property rights which can be traded on, which families can inherit, trade on or sell on. That way there is an incentive to maintain the stocks in a sustainable way, rather than this sort of Communist, centrally-controlled fisheries policy, which has actually led to the depletion of our fish stocks and to disaster. It is time we moved towards a market-based approach."@en1
