"Mr President, I would firstly like to thank Mrs Miguélez for the excellent work she has done. Its quality is all the more notable insofar as it deals with an issue which is hugely traumatic for a large number of people who depend on fishing in Portugal and in Galicia, Andalucia and the Canary Islands in Spain. It is a question of finding the best possible way to alleviate the effects of what I believe to be, if you pardon the expression, the chronicle of a death foretold. For a long time my group has been warning the House of the risks of not linking the fisheries agreement with Morocco to the association agreement. Today all I can say is that the Kingdom of Morocco has not shown the willingness to negotiate that we expect from a trading partner. I would like to acknowledge the Commission’s efforts to lessen the impact of the lack of an agreement with Morocco, but I am not going to repeat what has already been said. It is sufficient to refer to the interventions of the rapporteur and Mrs Fraga, for example, to realise that the Committee on Fisheries has considerably improved on the Commission’s proposal, by making it fairer. In this respect, it only remains for me to ask, as my group will do, the House to approve the report of the Committee on Fisheries, written by Mrs Miguélez, tomorrow, and that, once approved by Parliament, the report may quickly be provided with the appropriate financial instruments so that it can be implemented. And, in this respect, I would like to make it clear that the budgetary flexibility instrument is essential. Ladies and gentlemen, it would be horrendous, to give an example, if an Objective 1 region, with the highest unemployment rate in the European Union, which also suffers the consequences of the competition created by the very favourable agreements which we, Europeans, have granted to Morocco in the fruit products sector, not only suffered the effects of a tough conversion as a result of the lack of an agreement with Morocco, but that, furthermore, as a result of the budgetary miserliness of certain people, it also ended up without Structural Funds."@en1
