"Mr President, of course British withdrawal from the EU and the recovery of exclusive use of our waters would solve the problem, but in the mean time any attempt to improve the common fisheries policy must be welcomed. Ending the practice of discarding dead and dying fish back into the sea is self-evidently right. The practice must be ended, whether it involves under-sized fish that have been caught accidentally, or less valuable fish that are discarded to make way for more valuable fish, so-called ‘high-grading’. Of course, enforcement with regard to the latter practice might be rather difficult.
Enabling Member States to enact their own conservation measures within a 12-nautical-mile zone is clearly desirable, but the Member State must be able to enforce that against other Member States. The rapporteur’s proposal that fishing concessions should cease to be freely transferable is particularly good. It would stop concessions from being bought and sold, and the concessions would remain the property of each Member State.
Successful policymaking is dependent on accurate supporting information. It has been estimated that stocks of 70% of the species caught in the EU have not been assessed accurately. The report particularly does not fully address the problem of incompatibility between the conservation of fish stocks and the survival of fishing industries. The only solution is for countries that have provided the bulk of the fish stock to be given priority in their own waters."@en1
