"I voted in favour of this report because I believe that greater consideration needs to be given to small-scale fishing in the reform of the common fisheries policy. We need to take into account its problems but also its potential and make a series of changes to the three pillars of the reform: the Basic Regulation, the COM Regulation and the financial instrument for implementing the CFP, now known as the EMFF. The following are characteristics usually associated with small-scale fishing: strong ties to the economy, social structure, culture and traditions of coastal towns and communities, fishing activity undertaken relatively close to the coast and involving shorter periods at sea, greater direct incorporation of human labour, and so on. At the moment the belief is that the European Commission is proposing to continue the current centralised management of the CFP which frequently provides guidelines that are divorced from reality, poorly understood by the sector (which is not involved in discussing or developing them), and difficult to implement, producing results that are often the opposite of those intended. Furthermore, the great diversity that characterises the reality of fisheries in the EU is not being taken into account with the proposal of a single, mandatory system for accessing resources. Implementing this system along the lines suggested could have profoundly negative consequences for small-scale fishing sectors, since the adopted definition of ‘small-scale fishing’ is reductionist and does not reflect the true situation. We therefore need to ensure that we have a programme which promotes the participation of young fishermen and women in the activities of this sector and creates mechanisms which are beneficial to all coastal communities."@en1
