"Mr President, I have to ask the question, why do they not get it? Why is it that some members of the EPP, from the Italian, Spanish and French delegations, just do not get it?
We have been overfishing. The problem for the fishing industry is that there are now too few fish. We have to rebuild fish stocks. That is at the heart of the Commission’s proposals – that we need to achieve maximum sustainable yield (MSY), but not just MSY. We need to set levels above MSY. We need to rebuild those stocks to give industry a future.
Yet 70 EPP members have signed an amendment to delete that word ‘above’. They are basically saying ‘we do not care about rebuilding fish stocks’. I am sure that they are trying to be kind to the fishing industry by doing this – buying them a little short-term profit without having to take the measures necessary – but their kindness will kill the fishing industry. I urge them to think again."@en1
