"Madam President, we are, of course, talking here about reform of the common fisheries policy, but many people with whom I speak think of it as a communist fisheries policy: a centrally planned regime where we decide who catches what and when they can catch it, rather than leaving it to the market.
We ought to look further afield, to places like New Zealand and Iceland, for example, where they have created property-rights-based systems with tradable rights that can be either handed down to future generations or sold to others – and that incentivises fishermen to sustain stocks. Why, indeed, would you want to deplete the stocks if you knew that you could sell on those rights or hand them down?
So we can tinker as much as we like, and I welcome much of the tinkering that we have done, especially in relation to discards, but surely we should be looking at the overall policy. It is time to abolish the common fisheries policy and to move towards a market-based solution."@en1
