lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I question whether the EU really is interested in achieving the sustainable exploitation of fishery resources. It is a contradiction that this is what the EU recommends in the report, at the same time as having fisheries agreements with countries in, for example, Africa. These third-country agreements contribute to overfishing of the oceans and impair many developing countries’ ability to build up profitable fishing industries themselves. A recently published report by the Swedish National Board of Fisheries criticises the EU’s third-country agreements. The criticism is based on the fact that none of these agreements promotes sustainable fishing and that they are also implemented in a way that does not comply with the FAO’s code of conduct. A number of non-governmental organisations share that view and have pointed out that the agreements predominantly affect coastal communities badly. If the sustainable development of fishery resources really is a priority issue for the EU, the latter must not only advocate measures in the Mediterranean, as in this report, but also recommend and implement a radical review of its fisheries agreements with third countries. In this report, Parliament has altered the Commission’s proposal, which does not promote sustainable development, in favour of the fishing industry. The EU should not work on issues concerning fishing. Issues of this type should be dealt with at regional and sub-regional levels insofar as that is possible. Those issues concerning fishing that presuppose international cooperation may usefully be dealt with within the framework of international bodies in which national special interests are not as marked as is the case in the EU."@en1
