".
The fact that the Commission has waited until the last minute to ask for negotiations is certainly regrettable, especially considering the overall course of the whole affair, which already, in recent years, has experienced a conflict created in the institutional consultation framework, with regard to Parliament’s role in an agreement which has significant budgetary implications.
We are fast approaching 30 November and the new agreement appears to be at the conclusion stage. The Commission has therefore given little attention to the economic level of the Objective 1 and 2 regions which, as they depend to a large degree on fishing, are seriously concerned about maintaining employment in the sector.
No-one wants to call into question efficient instruments for cooperation with Morocco through negotiations, which reinforce, where possible, the interests of both the Community and Moroccan operators and emphasise the sense of solidarity which, moreover, even in sectors that are not purely economic, has been shown daily, especially between the countries of Southern Europe in the Mediterranean area.
The European fishing fleet which, I may add, is so careful to fish in accordance with specific legislation concerning the environment – closed seasons, fishing groups, bans on fishing with sweep nets and trawl nets etc. – needs socio-economic compensation measures following an agreement which further limits its activity, including compensation for the processing industry.
One thing must be clear: the compensation must not be to the detriment of the agricultural sector, which has already suffered notable cuts in its budget. In this sense, the new FIFG regulation is fairly reassuring as it covers unforeseen events in the fisheries sector as well as the consequences of international agreements.
Finally, a remark on the role of Parliament, whose Members must act as observers in all the negotiation procedures in order to fully protect the interests of the European fishing fleet."@en1
