lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the common market organisation (CMO) for fisheries products is one of the pillars of the common fisheries policy (CFP) and the first regulation in the legislative package that will set out the future CFP, to be voted on here in Parliament. It is clear that the CMO’s main objectives still have not been realised, specifically ensuring market stability and guaranteeing producers a fair income. The income crisis affecting the fisheries sector, which has – let us not delude ourselves – consequences for the conservation status of stocks ... As I was saying, this income crisis has various causes, including the way in which the sector is currently marketed, the unbalanced distribution of value added along the sector’s value chain and the way in which first-sale prices are formulated. Moreover, fishing is, by its very nature, irregular. This irregularity implies a need for public funding from either national governments or the EU, for example, supporting fishers during biological rest periods. It also implies the creation of effective market intervention mechanisms that are duly funded from the EU budget from the outset. The current situation means we need an ambitious reform of the CMO that reinforces its instruments; its mechanisms for public intervention in markets. This is – I repeat – also necessary in order to conserve stocks. Regrettably, the Commission and the rapporteur are heading in the opposite direction, by means of dismantling the already scant extant regulatory instruments, of more liberalisation and of their precious market orientation. In other words, faced with the disasters of neoliberalism, the fundamentalist believers in the invisible hand continue to suggest the same path. This proposal ignores the reality of the sector in the various Member States. It ignores the very incipient level of producer organisation in a number of countries, particularly as regards small-scale coastal fishing sectors. It also fails to respond to the need to revalue the first-sale price of fish, so it does not contribute to reducing the pressure on stocks. In short, regrettably, this report does not respond to the sector’s problems and creates others. It has been written in line with the interests of the few and against the interests of the many."@en1
