"Mr President, this third reform of the common fisheries policy must not take place, once again, at the expense of fishermen. Not all fishermen are these plunderers of the sea, the only people responsible for the poor state of the stocks, as is suggested by environmental organisations and the European Commission, grouping together all fishing categories. Of course we need to preserve fish stocks, but we also need to allow our fishermen to make a living from their work and preserve the economic fabric, dynamism and cultural identity of our coastal regions. However, the main measures of the European executive once again aim to reduce the number of fishermen to achieve the mythical ‘maximum sustainable yield’. I would like to point out that the French fleet has decreased by more than 50% since 1980. The Commission is proposing, in particular, the introduction of transferable individual quotas, which are a measure of the industrialisation and concentration of the sector, and even a complete ban on discards, which the experts describe as unrealistic. This draft reform probably suits the industrial fleet but, as it stands, it would be the scheduled death of what remains of local and small-scale fisheries."@en1
