lpv:translated text	". Mr President, let us first agree that everyone wants to provide aid as quickly as possible, as effectively as possible. It is a nice idea to export old fishing vessels, but it would not work. This is a clear case of the emperor’s new clothes. Everyone can see that the idea would not work, but no one dares to say so publicly and to scrap the proposal. The FAO has not received any request for boats. On the contrary, both Indonesia and Sri Lanka have declined such offers. In addition, a conference of regional fishing organisations met last week in Sumatra, with representatives from all the countries affected. They oppose the export of old vessels. They would rather have assistance in building up their local shipyards and fishing fleets. That is what we must help them with. At all events, our amendments are aimed at reducing the risk of this export of boats destroying sea beds and the local economy and damaging fish stocks with the wrong kind of equipment. I hope that the Commission acts on its good intentions, but its voting recommendations could have been more generous. Is there anyone from the Council – yes, the Council – in this House? Can you see that the emperor has no clothes and scrap this proposal? Forget about prestige, and see things not from a European perspective but from the point of view of those affected."@en1
