We welcome the initiative of a marine environment policy as part of the cooperation and coordination that is needed between different countries, whilst ensuring that full sovereignty over territory and resources is safeguarded for each country, and that economic, social and environmental aspects are taken into account.
The preservation of fisheries resources has been put in jeopardy particularly by marine pollution and by the large volume of shipping, both of which affect fishing. Fishing itself is just one of many factors, and certainly not the most significant one.
Fish stocks, and the regeneration thereof, are an indispensable component in ensuring the future of fisheries; without fish there is no fishing. Fishermen are therefore the most important stakeholders in protecting and regenerating the marine environment. Against this backdrop, stock recovery measures must, with appropriate funding, involve much-needed economic and social compensation for the sector and its workers.
The key issue is respect for the Member States’ sovereignty, in particular over their exclusive economic zones and their ability to implement independent measures to defend their fisheries resources.
Lastly, although the marine strategy and the CFP need to be closely linked, the latter must not impose its structures on fishing structures."@en1
