"We believe that the European Union’s policy on fisheries agreements needs to be revised. Over-exploitation of fishing waters forces people into even greater poverty and robs the marine environment of a vital link in the food chain. It would be better if those countries with which the EU enters into fisheries agreements were instead to be given assistance so that they themselves might develop their own fishing industries.
We do not accept amendments whereby the Commission would be given an independent source of income. We believe that, if the EU concludes a fisheries agreement with a third country, the total amount of financial compensation for this third country must be funded by those EU Member States whose fishing vessels make use of what is offered under the agreement in question. The Member States should pay in proportion to the size of their catches. These Member States must then each decide for themselves whether they, in turn, will fund this expenditure by taxing their respective fishing vessels."@en1
