"Mr President, Mr Torvalds has said that the common fisheries policy (CFP) as it currently stands is one of the EU’s greatest failures to date. I think he is right. He has also said that it is an economic, social and environmental catastrophe for our fisheries. The fishing industry is not just a means of producing or catching food. It is the oldest trade in the world and, of course, we want to preserve it for the future. Therefore, I would like to thank all the rapporteurs. I believe that we have taken an important step forwards today and I know how committed Ms Damanaki is in this area. For example, we need aquaculture as a response to overfishing. I am very interested in an integrated maritime policy which is all about maritime environmental planning. There are some interesting concepts in this area involving, for example, integrating aquaculture into offshore wind farms. This may be something for the future, but we must ensure that we can expand this sector in the most effective way possible. Finally, I would like to tell you about a small success story from Germany. The North Sea and Baltic fisheries policy has resulted in stocks of cod, herring and plaice gradually recovering. I hope that in future, all the fish stocks in Europe will also recover."@en1
