lpv:translated text	"Mr President, honourable Members, I would like to thank all the speakers for their very fruitful interventions, to which I have listened very attentively. I have taken careful note of the key points that were raised. Let me once again assure you that the reform of the common fisheries policy is a top priority for the Council as well as the European Parliament and the Commission. The reports by the European Parliament that we have in front of us show that the Council and Parliament can go a long way together on major issues. It is hoped that this will also be the case for the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund. The Presidency therefore looks forward to continuing constructive and fruitful dialogue between the Council and the European Parliament with a view to finding agreement on the best way forward. I should like to make a final point on labelling and, in particular, on the catch date being made mandatory in fish product information. I hope you will bear with me for not being an expert on this – and, of course, I do not like to contradict my dear Commissioner Damanaki – but I must explain the rationale behind the Council’s position. The Council holds that the catch date is difficult to establish, and trace, on fishing trips lasting several days or weeks. On such trips, the fish is often immediately frozen on board and, therefore, kept in perfect condition. Mandatory information exists already concerning package date and best-before date, and this information should be expanded to include qualitative information on whether the product was defrosted before selling. The catch or landing date could be part of the voluntary information whereby the producer or merchant seeks to distinguish one product from another."@en1
