lpv:translated text	". Mr President, I am pleased that the Commissioner has taken good note both of this Parliament’s report on the recovery of European eel stocks and of the rapporteur, Mr Maat’s, working methods. The rigidity of the Commission’s proposal, its obfuscation in ignoring the biological behaviour of eels, whose capture is closely linked to lunar phases, and the injustice of seeing fishing as the only cause of the reduction in the eel population, have been replaced by a compromise by the rapporteur. We must thank him for his flexibility and his sensitivity in listening to the different fleets fishing eel during all of the phases of their lives and in habitats and river basins that vary enormously throughout Europe. The Commission’s proposal was rejected by the sector in all of the countries of the Union, by national administrations and by this Parliament. Mr Maat’s report has been approved unanimously in the Committee on Fisheries and has restored calm. The Commission must therefore take good note. We are aware of the urgent need to recover eel stocks and the proposal is therefore to reduce the fishing effort by half. Nevertheless, a reasonable way to do so is being proposed, replacing the Commission’s absurd proposal that fishing be halted from the first to the fifteenth day of each month. The obligation for future national plans to guarantee a 40% escape rate for eels, something that is practically impossible to calculate, is also removed and replaced by measures that guarantee a high escape rate for adult eel and, to this end, it is requested that account be taken not just of fishing, but of all human activities along rivers that hinder or prevent the return of eel to the sea. In conclusion, the report by Mr Maat and the Committee on Fisheries is a balanced and measured consensus report and, in line with what the Commissioner has said, I hope that both he and the Council will take good note of it."@en1
