lpv:translated text	"Thank you, Mr President. I am sure that all those who work closely with the fishing sector, and particularly those involved with the Mediterranean Sea, are very much aware of how complex this region is. It is a region of highly visible biological and environmental diversity, which has a huge socio-economic impact on the inhabitants of the region. Sadly, the Council of Ministers has made no proper commitment to identifying that diversity and taking whatever action is necessary. This is a disturbing state of affairs for those of us presenting this resolution because we know that this lack of initiative by the Council has placed us in a position far removed from our goal of sustainable development. This is a dead end from which we can only extricate ourselves by adopting more responsible rules in greater accordance with the common fisheries policy, so making our aims that much more attainable. It must be remembered that the only existing rules for managing fisheries have been in force for more than ten years, and even those measures are not so good. It is very important for us to bear in mind that we are in danger of failing to fulfil our international obligations where fisheries management is concerned, especially with regard to regional fisheries organisations and, in particular, the International Commission for the Conservation of Tuna in the Atlantic and the General Fisheries Commission of the Mediterranean. I thus urge the Council to take all the necessary measures without delay so that an ideal balance is achieved in the Mediterranean and so that fishermen’s livelihoods are guaranteed. We can then turn our attention to other projects in the Mediterranean - a region that, I repeat, has unfortunately been neglected for a very long time. Thank you very much."@en1
