". I abstained from the final vote because a number of important proposals made by the specialist committee were not adopted and the amendments proposed by the Union for Europe of the Nations Group were rejected, although they would have improved Parliament’s position significantly. Nonetheless, I consider the treatment given to the precautionary principle and also the principle of relative stability – a fundamental economic guarantee for the industry, especially in regions that depend heavily on fishing – to have been right overall. It is worth pointing out, however, that we have to ensure that the adjustments to the fishing capacity of each Member State should give due weight to the contribution each has already made to the conservation of fish stocks. I also repeat that the current critical situation of various stocks means that it is urgent not only to maintain the rules on access to the zone between six and 12 nautical miles but to extend the exclusion zone to 24 miles, if we really want a fisheries policy that can be taken seriously. I am also once more concerned to ensure that the multiannual management plans should cover not just the fluctuations in stocks but also the social impacts, in keeping with the promised consistency with other Community policies. At the same time, I welcome the proposal for regional advisory councils, which will allow the involvement of interested and affected actors, although I think that decision-making powers should remain as they are now. Finally and most particularly, I consider the proposal to extend the exclusive zones for the outermost regions to 50 nautical miles to be of the utmost importance, as it puts Article 299 of the Treaty into practice in this field."@en1
