"Madam President, Commissioner, in a world which is becoming more and more interdependent, in which the problems which affect us usually have their roots in areas poles apart from us, we are obliged to work together with other countries in order to manage the planet’s resources properly, by respecting rules which are common to all of us. Commissioner, fishing is a sensitive area which must be discussed in the Millennium Round in accordance with its characteristics and through an interpretation which links it to agricultural products, as laid down in the Treaty. This is because agriculture and fisheries have similar characteristics for us Europeans. Both activities are linked to the sustainable exploitation of natural resources and both affect the economic and social cohesion of Europe. Fishing and agriculture guarantee the survival of our socio-economic fabric and contribute in a fundamental way to the supply of our food market. Mr Lamy, fish are not shoes or screws. They cannot therefore be treated as non-agricultural products in Seattle.
Agriculture and fishing provide us with food. The inevitable globalisation of the market must not mean a lowering of our food safety standards nor of the social rights of our workers, nor must it lead us to forget our poorer regions."@en1
