". Mr President, I, for my part – and you will see that there really is consensus on this matter – should like to stress the urgent need to break the deadlock in this situation, as the state of the resource in the Mediterranean is truly alarming. This is particularly the case with regard to bluefin tuna, but also with regard to other species, as my fellow Member pointed out. The wait-and-see policy, the standstills and the prevarications are therefore truly disastrous for the future of the Mediterranean. Moreover, we want to preserve small-scale fishing, which is so very important in the regions concerned, where it provides a livelihood for thousands of people, as has been said. Yet, it is not by exempting small-scale fishing from a number of sensible measures that we will succeed in doing this, but much rather by helping it first and foremost to adapt and by supporting it so that it can continue its activities in compliance with the regulations, which need to be those mentioned in the report. I therefore believe that we must preserve the Mediterranean: this is a crucial issue in terms of the future of fishing and it is also a major issue in terms of culture. The Council has to be fully aware of this and to be intent on breaking the deadlock in this situation as soon as possible."@en1
