lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, as far as the common fisheries policy is concerned, we have been advocating vigilance and practical measures, stock management and the preservation of the marine environment for several years now. Most of the governments have not given a reaction to these proposals, which aim to sustain fisheries in the future. Now that we can see stocks are being exhausted – between one and two thirds of hake, cod and whiting have disappeared – we now have our backs to the wall. We must therefore thoroughly reform the instrument, which must become less aggressive and more selective, to avoid, in particular, by-catches which sometimes make up 80% of a haul, including juvenile fish. Each Member State will apply this European directive, which has been drawn up in the general interest, in the way it considers best. Instead of quite devastating industrial fishing practices, we, the Greens, are calling for coastal fishing that is more capable of safeguarding jobs. Considerably greater sums than those currently allocated to cover the social compensation of this policy will certainly need to be made available. We are not in favour of taking blind administrative steps. These must be determined in conjunction with the Regional Advisory Councils proposed by the Commission, made up of professionals, labour experts, scientists and civil societies that can adapt them to the specific problems on the ground. This should enable us not only to salvage something from this situation but, more importantly, to provide the fishing industry with a new impetus and the sustainable development that is essential to our economic as well as human stability."@en1
