"Madam President, I welcome the opportunity this morning to have this debate because aquaculture has not received enough recognition for its importance. I think it has great opportunities for the future.
The one thing I would also make very clear is that I do not want to see it over-regulated. I think most people have made this clear this morning. Yes, there is a great need to ensure that the environment is protected, because if we do not protect the environment we will not have any aquaculture in any of these areas. That is the bottom line.
I do not want to see the same mistakes made with aquaculture as we made with the common fisheries policy. Mind you, that particular policy does not leave an awful lot to be desired, and I am not convinced that we need to do this EU-wide. I think we can maybe handle this better with encouragement at Member State level.
This is one of the fastest-growing areas. It is an area that must be encouraged, because many of our coastal regions are under great pressure, and this has great potential to develop. Assistance to that development would be extremely welcome."@en1
