"Mr President, I wish to express my satisfaction with all the findings and proposals set out by the rapporteur and to make a number of comments. We all know that inshore fishing is the basic economic activity in disadvantaged and isolated regions of the European Union. For example, in Greece, inshore fishing has the largest number of boats (96% of the fishing fleet) and the highest rate of employment. The sector needs financial support in order to replace and update the fleet. The arrival of young workers in inshore fishing, apart from any family connections they may have, means that certain support policies need to be applied, given that even the report talks of the financial difficulties of both owners and workers and their limited borrowing capacity, factors which have an adverse impact on attracting young people to this profession. In addition to vocational training, this policy could include specific incentives for young fishermen. The role and contribution of women in family inshore fishing businesses needs to be acknowledged. The European Union should help to organise inshore fishing by helping their associations to create infrastructures, move products and improve fishing methods. It should be pointed out here that their organisation prevents them from being properly represented in decision-making bodies and at public hearings. The active participation of coastal organisations throughout the European Union in a dialogue during which priorities and completion deadlines at local, regional and European level are determined must therefore be one of our objectives during the consultations."@en1
