"Mr President, in respect of the Gallagher report, I would hope that the House would support this report. I would also hope, Commissioner, that it would strengthen your hand in dealing with the Icelandic and Faroese situation. This has been going on for years now. For the sake of a sustainable fishery and for a sustainable fishing industry, we need to have this issue sorted out. I trust that support for the report from this House will help in that. In relation to the common organisation of the market, I want to say a personal ‘thank you’ to Struan Stevenson. He took the time to visit Northern Ireland and I know that some of the issues that were raised there are reflected in his amended report. I also want just to briefly touch on the issue of discards. We are in agreement that this is a practice that is completely terrible in relation to fishing. I agree with my Scottish colleague who says that much of the common fisheries policy has actually helped to increase the level of discards. I would encourage Members in the House next week to take the opportunity to come along to an initiative that I have organised with other parliamentary colleagues, to hear the way that the industry itself, right across Europe, is dealing with the practice of discards."@en1
