"Mr President, reforming the common fisheries policy is a necessary decision that cannot be put off any longer. We fish too much in Europe, and we often fish badly. If we want to safeguard marine biological resources, conserve the marine ecosystem and ensure the survival of the fisheries sector, we have to give overexploited fish stocks time to recover. However, the view that prevailed in this Chamber today by only a few votes was the blinkered view of those who want to maintain the status quo and continue to condemn our seas and the whole fisheries sector to certain death. That is why I voted against the report on the reform of the common fisheries policy. We need a well-thought-out reform that allows for the sustainable exploitation of marine resources and not a watered-down text that offers no future prospects. We need multiannual management plans and a precise timetable, as well as a network of protected areas. I welcome sanctions against those Member States that do not abide by the rules, carry out inadequate controls, exceed their quotas and do not provide reliable data. Greater protection for the fish in our seas means more jobs for European fishermen, but there are some people in this Chamber who have not yet understood that."@en1
