"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, fisheries are a sensitive area, like conflicts of any kind: it is an area that is fortified by its traditions, but where freebooters and pirates of all kinds disturb the peace. We therefore congratulate the rapporteur on the clarity and courage of her report. Secret and illegal activities, poaching and clandestine trade jeopardise the entire activity of professional fishermen. This activity will only be politically and socially objective and economically profitable if the controls are effective, fair, clear, transparent and identical in all of the EU Member States. However, today they are notoriously inadequate. To strengthen them, they must be streamlined and modernised. We need to develop controls on satellite positioning and improve logbooks, and each state must establish substantial and adequate human and material resources. States are responsible for controls, as you pointed out; they must continue to be responsible for them, but they must improve and strengthen them. The European Union must coordinate them and the Commission’s specialised fisheries departments must assess the impact of this improvement. If the impact of these controls continues to be insufficient, and only if this is the case, perhaps we will have to consider the possibility of a joint inspection structure, which would be supported in particular by a Community Fisheries Control Agency."@en1
