"I voted in favour of the European Parliament’s resolution on the reform of the common fisheries policy (CFP). The fishing industry is of strategic importance in terms of the public supply of fish and the food balance in various Member States and in the European Union itself, and it makes a considerable contribution to socio-economic well-being in coastal communities, local development, employment, the preservation and creation of economic activities upstream and downstream and the preservation of local cultural traditions.
The EU is the world’s fourth-biggest producer; nevertheless, the EU imports over 60% of the fish it consumes. I think the CFP must apply the precautionary approach to fisheries management and ensure the sustainable exploitation of living marine biological resources in order to restore and maintain the populations of all stocks of harvested species at levels that are close to those capable of producing maximum sustainable yield. We call on the Commission to provide for the establishment of long-term management plans for all EU fisheries and for the use of the ecosystem approach as a basis for all such plans, with clearly defined objectives and harvest control rules playing a pivotal role in each plan."@en1
