". I have already had occasion to express my concerns to this House regarding the ineffectiveness of fisheries controls. Illegal, illicit and undeclared fishing is a daily reality in Portugal. This initiative allows Member States to request a Community contribution to the financing of certain projects that aim at improving fishing controls. It is just one more brick for constructing a sustainable fisheries policy. In this context, I support the establishment of cross-border exchange of information, as this is a simple, useful way of imposing sanctions across the EU that are effective, proportionate and, most of all, dissuasive. Moreover, the varying levels of sanctions imposed across the EU for the same infringements are also of great concern. The problem is even more serious because there are no indicators for assessing the controls that have been carried out. The EU has, in fact, no information on numbers of inspections, infringements detected, infringement procedures opened, etc. I also agree with the rapporteur that monitoring should be performed not only on board vessels but also on land. Lastly, Community incentives for Member States to acquire fisheries control heavy equipment should be strengthened. At the same time, the initiative to simplify and tighten up the allocation of funding is commendable."@en1
