"I wholeheartedly support a significant reform of the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP), which aims to end overfishing and to promote sustainable practices. Measures must be put in place to stop overfishing – figures show that around 80% of Mediterranean stocks and 47% of Atlantic ones are overfished. I support the introduction of a discard ban – discards currently account for almost a quarter of all catches and I believe the Parliament is right to call for this practice to be phased out, starting in 2014. Furthermore, I welcome measures to make fishing more sustainable and agree that fishermen should respect a ‘maximum sustainable yield’. This should hopefully lead to stocks recovering by 2020, and after that point we need to make sure they remain sustainable. Finally, the recovery of fish stocks will enable millions more tonnes of fish to be caught and could create up to 37 000 new jobs in the industry."@en1
