lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I too should like in turn to congratulate and thank the rapporteur for the exceptional work which she has done in her report. We all know that women engaged in coastal fisheries are at a disadvantage, because their work in this sector is classified as supplementary work rather than as a profession. What is missing is the recognition of their work, at both a legal and social level. We need to support and to safeguard the social and economic rights of women in all sectors of the fishing industry: equal pay, pension rights, social security and access to public health services. We need to step up efforts to implement policies which support initiatives to create women's networks throughout the European Union, especially in remote island areas. The development of these networks should not be based merely on voluntary or one-off actions. These networks must be institutionalised so that their role in the areas in which they develop can be strengthened and they can act as advisors and experts on the councils in their areas. As far as the full application of the principle of equal treatment and equal opportunities in the fisheries sector is concerned, I consider that we have fallen a long way behind. I think that the time has come for a bold decision, so that the contribution of women to the development of fisheries and of economic life in general is recognised. Let us not address women's networks merely with sympathy and understanding. Let us turn them into an important tool, which will promote fisheries policy, sustainable development and respect for the environment, ecosystems and man."@en1
