"Madam President, the European Union Common Fisheries Policy has incurred much criticism, and I believe rightly so. Fish stocks, due to overfishing, are now in many instances at critically low levels. Not content, though, with inflicting this ecological damage on waters surrounding the British Isles, the North Atlantic and the Mediterranean, the European Union has established arrangements to conduct the same activities in the waters beyond its jurisdiction.
The proposed regulation would establish a new authorisation framework and extend the scope of the authorisation system to all European Union fishing activities outside European Union waters. But when the United Nations remarks that the European Union practice is endangering 1.5 million African jobs, and when Greenpeace and the United Nations are able to identify the source of the overfishing issue as being the European Union, I’m very sorry, I was just unable to support the motion."@en1
