lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I should like to congratulate rapporteur Färm on his initial ideas. However, as the PPE-DE’s shadow rapporteur for fisheries, I do regret that the Group of the Party of European Socialists has not decided to issue a report on the fisheries budget at this stage. I should still like to highlight a few salient points which will prove important in future discussions. The year 2002 was marked by the failure of the fisheries agreements with Morocco. As a result, less than EUR 200 million were set aside for the regions in Spain and Portugal. On that basis, it was decided to take 243 vessels out of circulation. For the 2003 budget, it is important to find out whether this is actually being done, whether this is being monitored and how the Commission reports to Parliament on that score. Why? Because the 2003 fisheries budget will be based on this year’s Green Paper and because the discussion about future fisheries policy will be concluded this year. It is very likely that the Green Paper will be a painful document, considering the situation of cod fishing in Scotland and the far-reaching implications of that. Some form of restructuring will be needed there. It is also important to find out how the programme in Spain and Portugal will be implemented in 2003. As a second point we also have, when we consider biodiversity, the problems in aquaculture. Here too, it will be necessary to examine the budget very closely and to assess to what extent it can be used for this purpose. This is also in anticipation of the discussion on the Green Paper and the implementation of existing programmes. On that basis, it is important for the Commission to take elements of this kind into consideration, to link the 2003 budget to the Green Paper and particularly to make political choices in that area, also with regard to the budget. This will be the PPE-DE’s main issue and line of thought."@en1
