lpv:translated text	"Thank you for your response, Commissioner. That was a formal response based on principles, the principle of relative stability and the principle of freedom of access. There is a certain contradiction implied between these principles, although commenting on this is irrelevant at present. This formal and abstract framework does, however, conflict with a situation that cannot be ignored at either the political or ethical levels. I am referring to the fact that Portuguese territorial waters have the misfortune to lie next to the territorial waters of Spain, which owns the largest fishing fleet in Europe, one which hungers to find new fishing grounds and shows a ravenous appetite, not always adhering strictly to the rules. This is causing fury among Portuguese fishermen, as well as great anxiety and indignation in Portuguese public opinion, so much so that all the reactionaries and nationalists in the country, who have been keeping quiet because the European project is a success for both Europe and Portugal, are taking advantage of the situation. They are making irate speeches against a Europe which wants to deprive Portuguese fishermen of their fish and allow uncontrolled and alien fishing in Portuguese waters. This is a political problem which the Commissioner and the Union have to face."@en1
