"As shadow rapporteur for this report, I was involved in defining artisanal fishing. This term features repeatedly in texts on the common fisheries policy reform, without appearing to fit the definition established by the Commission. Indeed, the latter admits to having opted for a simplistic definition – currently, all vessels measuring 12 metres or less. However, this fails completely to take account of the diverse nature of European fishing. Given that small operators have more difficulty in gaining access to European funding, a new definition may be required to ensure fairer distribution of this funding. To that end, classification as a micro-, small or medium-sized enterprise and the skipper-on-board requirement appear to be more appropriate criteria. Even if Parliament has not come up with a final definition of artisanal fishing, this report should be welcomed for anticipating the discussions on the financing of fisheries and for wisely acknowledging that there is not one single criterion but a whole range of criteria for defining artisanal fishing."@en1
