". Scientific research has become an essential instrument in implementing the common fisheries policy and is crucial to the sustainable management of resources. The limits placed on fishing in the EU have had devastating socio-economic consequences. Portugal has been particularly hard hit by such measures, especially in the conversion of activities and in the destruction of large parts of the national fishing fleet. I see the consequences of fisheries management measures every day in the ports and fish markets of my region and I am furious that the Commission continues to pursue the same policy, without having any evaluation carried out into the socio-economic impact of implementing these measures. It is therefore important that these special arrangements, given their irreversibility, are duly justified in thorough scientific reports containing highly credible information on the development of resources. Given the lack of objective information, current scientific reports give rise to conflicting interpretations on the part of Member States, thereby counteracting the effects of measures to protect fisheries resources. I should like to take this opportunity to welcome the work of the rapporteur. I share his concern about the lack of scientific advice on fishing, and about the scarcity of financial and human resources. I also endorse the need to strengthen the ties between science and industry, thus giving the final results greater practicability."@en1
