"Mr President, this report is the first of the three legislative proposals to reform the common fisheries policy. It aims to provide market incentives to support more sustainable practices, and to enhance the market potential of EU products. It is vital, of course, to promote a more sustainable fisheries sector but we must at the same time support fishermen.
The role of producer organisations (POs) cannot be underestimated in this equation, and I welcome the introduction of clear objectives for them to ensure that they promote profitable fishing and reject profligate fishing. I was very pleased to see the requirements that POs promote the avoidance of by-catch and the handling of remaining unwanted catch in a responsible way, not distorting the market.
Lastly, I was also pleased to support the amendment tabled by my colleague Struan Stevenson requesting that the Commission introduce an EU-wide eco-label for sustainable fisheries practice. I very much support all of these aims and I hope we will be able to make sure that our new common fisheries policy does the job we want it to do."@en1
