"Mr President, I am glad to have the opportunity to speak on both the report on control measures and the one on management measures applicable to fish stocks in our fishing industry.
The first report is a regulation on controls applicable to fishing. I am sure that Mrs Jackson, Chairperson of the Committee on the Environment, Public Health, and Consumer Policy, envies Mr Varela Suanzes-Carpegna, who is the Chairman of the Committee on Fisheries. Why does she envy him? Because, for all her enthusiasm, Mrs Jackson has yet to have a directive passed on environmental control, which has remained a mere recommendation. Mr Varela, on the other hand, has succeeded in obtaining nothing less than a regulation to enforce controls on fishing. Great credit, therefore, great honour, great respect – but also great envy, I believe, from other committee chairmen – to Mr Varela, as well as my compliments.
As for the other Varela report, this one about controls applicable to fishing too, when I read this document carefully it made me wonder: since the inspectors who oversee the enforcement of regulated fishing in Europe are paid out of European Union budgetary funds, why should they be national inspectors engaged by individual Member States and not inspectors depending on Community bodies? Control is a very delicate and important matter. If we pay the inspectors, we should also choose them. How many of us would pay for a cinema ticket to have someone else see the film? Maybe some generous soul, but very few. That is why I say, in hope: the controls are good, but the controls and the controllers should be chosen by the European Union."@en1
