". I voted in favour of this Commission proposal, the aim of which is to protect deep-water coral reefs from the effects of trawling in an area north west of Scotland. Incorporating environmental requirements into the common fisheries policy also involves adopting measures designed to minimise the impact of fishing on marine ecosystems. Recent scientific reports have shown that some deep-sea habitats are in need of protection against mechanical erosion caused by fishing gear. I therefore support the Commission’s ban on using these drift-nets in the Darwin Mounds. Adopting this measure will bring substantial environmental benefits, without having a significant impact on the fisheries sector, because fishermen will be able to continue using drift-nets outside the fishing zone containing the Darwin Mounds, or, within the protected zone, using towed nets that do not come into contact with the seabed."@en1
