"Madam President, I would like to thank the Commissioner for his sincerity.
It is clearly well-known, as the Commissioner has demonstrated very well, that driftnets are still being used in the Mediterranean.
The fishermen who conform to the Regulation have a sense that they are not being protected, but there is something more serious than all of that. It has come to light this summer that, of 37 vessels found with driftnets prohibited by ecological organisations, 18 had already received subsidies for their restructuring. I do not believe that this problem can be left solely in the hands of the Member States. I believe that the Commission must act and it has done so in relation to certain States, but that is clearly insufficient. We cannot allow non-compliance with the Regulation and we cannot allow certain practices to take place while subsidies are being paid.
We are eagerly awaiting a response to their comments."@en1
