"As the time comes for us to deliver our verdict on the reform of the common fisheries policy, I was keen to give my full backing to Mr Ferreira’s report on small-scale coastal fishing and artisanal fishing. We should remember that almost 80 % of fishing in Europe is carried out by small vessels (under 15 metres); the reform must therefore take account of the specific characteristics of the sector. What is at stake here is nothing less than the survival of European small-scale fishing: by modernising ageing vessels and promoting youth employment in the sector, but also by making use of the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund to make vessels more economically and environmentally sustainable and to support the sector in emergencies. The purpose of the CFP reform is to move towards more sustainable development and the conservation of fishery resources, but we must not forget the economic and social objectives, in particular for small-scale fishing."@en1
