Brussels loves agencies. There are agencies for everything, from the European Environment Agency in Copenhagen to the European Food Safety Agency in Parma, via the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work in Bilbao. Now there will also be a Community Fisheries Control Agency, in other words a real European Fisheries Ministry. This FBI of the sea will have the task of coordinating the control and inspection activities of Member States in the fisheries sector. It will be the strong arm of a control system which has been, until now, somewhat modest. Parliament wanted such a control system both in Community waters and in international waters. Multinational inspection teams will therefore be created, at sea and on land. The agency will be able to charter and operate surveillance vessels, which it will place at the disposal of observers. Yet who will those observers be? They will be inspectors from other countries, unfamiliar with national regulations, and this constitutes a refusal to acknowledge each Member State’s own competence. They will therefore be able to inspect, without necessarily finding infringements, without necessarily improving control. Thus, in the territorial waters of sovereign states, it will no longer be a matter of simply reinforcing Community sovereignty but also of strengthening foreign sovereignty."@en1
