"I should like to ask a follow-up question. I am grateful to the Commissioner for his reply and I hear him say that he wishes to take time to produce further analysis and to take the wind out of the sails of any potential opponent. I applaud any such effort. Unfortunately, what appears to have happened just now is that the wind has been taken out of the sails of the whole reform which has become becalmed.
We are now in a position where we hope that we do not see the timetable derailed to the point where we may go beyond the end of this year and find ourselves in 2003 when some important derogations will have expired and we could potentially have a "free-for-all" in our fisheries throughout the EU. That would not benefit any of us and would not benefit fish stocks, which are nearing collapse.
We have waited for this reform package for years. Our fishermen are suffering. Can we have a guarantee – and I am sure the Commission can give us this – that it retains its absolute independence in this matter and will not be subject to bullying from any individual Member State or any other source?"@en1
