"Mr President, with some of the reports under discussion today being tabled and voted on, common fisheries policy (CFP) reform has now started to take shape. I would therefore congratulate their respective rapporteurs and shadow rapporteurs, and thank them for the work they have done.
We all know that the reform needs to be profound and that resource sustainability is our lowest common denominator. We also know that the situation in the sector must change, so the challenges it faces will be tough. It is incumbent on all of us to work to ensure the continuation of fishing and related activities, by promoting stock sustainability. It is incumbent on all of us to respond positively to the various interests in play, whilst accepting the complexities of dialogue and consensus building. We must not, as seems to be the fashion at the moment, self-interestedly and irresponsibly adopt the simplest solutions, seeking the approval of the masses by making ourselves hostages to populism.
Let us not forget that we are Members of this House and of the Committee on Fisheries, whilst you are Commissioner for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries. There can be no reform, whether superficial or the profound reform we want this to be, against the sector or without the sector. Other politicians have failed because they made this mistake. They lost, the sectors in which nothing changed lost and we, too, have been left with everything to lose. True reform will have to involve the stakeholders in order to win their cooperation, without which it will be doomed to failure. Today’s reports are testimony to the change and dialogue required, because change is being implemented. I hope we will continue down this path."@en1
