lpv:translated text	". Large-scale fishing at sea is organised in very different ways in different Member States. In one country, small, traditional ships may be used, while other countries may use large, modern ships which, by way of compensation, have to remain idle for part of the time. Fishermen from one country may catch fish for human consumption, while those from other countries may fish for the production of fishmeal. Everywhere, fishermen from one country blame fishermen from other countries for exceeding their catch quotas, so that fish is in danger of extinction in an increasingly large maritime area. It now also transpires that the Netherlands produces illegible annual reports, Belgium uses unintelligible codes, Spain’s submission is incomplete and France does not submit any reports at all. Since the control mechanism is applied differently in different Member States, fishermen are not treated in the same way. It is starting to appear more and more as if we are deluding ourselves into thinking that we are drastically reducing fish catches, without this actually happening to an adequate degree. And meanwhile, a full-scale rebellion is being mounted against the European Commission proposals to make effective and tighten up the policy to protect fish levels at sea. No doubt, this will not come to anything either. A policy is therefore being adopted in the spirit of ‘après nous le déluge’. Do the advocates of a weak policy believe that such a flood will yield more fish?"@en1
