"Mr President, tomorrow this Parliament will approve the resolution on the Commission’s Green Paper on the future of the common fisheries policy, which draws up its future.
I would like the motto ‘more Europe’, chosen by the Spanish Presidency, to be converted this year into the definitive integration of fishing into the single market, and I would like a CFP to be more participatory, a CFP whose definition and application involve the presence not only of central governments but also of the regions, of regions with competences in the field of fishing, and of course economic and social actors.
Fishing, Mr President, works on an international basis, like the whole of the economy. Its reform cannot ignore this reality. Nevertheless, it worries us to see that the Community fleet’s access to external waters is being restricted and that our fleet is losing fishing grounds rather than gaining them. In six months’ time we will be able to judge this Presidency by its results and see whether it has been able to reverse this trend.
Given the importance of this economic activity to numerous European regions, most of them peripheral and Objective 1, and its role as an element of economic integration and social cohesion, we want you to take it into account as a priority objective when it comes to strategies for safeguarding the European social model, which you mentioned in your speech. I would like you to make that explicit commitment here, thereby helping this sector to recover its fighting spirit and confidence."@en1
