lpv:translated text	"Commissioner, you are appearing before the European Parliament with a proposal which demonstrates that the European Commission has failed in relation to managing the common fisheries policy. It now proposes that this failure should be paid for by the sector, not the whole sector, but rather the fishermen of the Mediterranean countries, who fish for human consumption, not for the manufacture of meal, who have made the greatest sacrifices in recent years by constantly reducing their fleet and who are now bearing the cost of this proposal. A cost, by the way, which your colleague responsible for the budget wants nothing to do with. So where are you going to get the EUR 240 million you need to incentivise the scrappings between 2003 and 2006? Are you going to get them from the Structural Funds? I would like to remind you of a figure produced by your own services. Between 1996 and 2000, Spain, for example, was obliged to reduce its fleet by 88 000 tonnes, and during that same period, Denmark, for example, increased its fleet, thanks to Community aid, by 64 000 tonnes. These figures come from your services. Do you intend to reassure the sector by saying that the fishermen of Spain and Portugal, after 17 years of waiting, will have access to the fishing grounds of the North Atlantic? That is guaranteed in the Act of Accession which, so far, the European Commission cannot modify. The Commissioner mentioned differences within the Commission, which he described as normal; what is not normal is that there should be such a pronounced geographical division between the three institutions. And since the World Cup is about to start, we could say that the score according to your proposal, Mr Commissioner, is ‘the North 1 – the South 0’, but we are at the beginning of the match and we hope that you will be a fair and unbiased referee. That is the important thing. What are trivial are certain speeches we heard at the beginning of this debate, which put domestic political interests before the future of thousands of families in Galicia or Andalusia, which is quite simply disgraceful, and I regret that the people or person who said that are absent. There is no institutional crisis here, but a personal crisis, a crisis of attitudes, a crisis which suggests that those who speak in this way will be in opposition for many years, to the benefit of everybody and in particular the fishermen of my country."@en1
