"Mr President, our fisheries sector is losing jobs; biodiversity and the marine environment are under threat. Commissioner Damanaki’s proposal has pointed the way towards sustainable fisheries in Europe, but the EU’s fisheries ministers agreed on a reform that presents a frightening future for the sector, including the deferral of maximum sustainable yields (MSY) until 2020. Over the past 10 years, overfishing has resulted in the loss of 30% of the jobs in the sector, but the introduction of MSY from 2015 would give fish stocks some rest time to re-establish themselves, allowing us to restore a greater number of jobs from 2020. Mr Salavrakos’ report sends a strong signal to the Council and the Commission that we will not accept short-sighted national interests again being given priority. We need the fleet capacity to be reduced to a sustainable level. This is the first time that the European Parliament has been colegislator on fisheries policy. Ladies and gentlemen, let us therefore take this responsibility seriously to secure the future of fisheries."@en1
