"Implementing control and inspection measures in relation to the application of the common fisheries policy (CFP) in its own exclusive economic zone should be a competence of the Member States. As such, they should be given adequate and sufficient backing, to which the European Union should contribute.
We do not deny the need for there to be ways for the various Member States to cooperate, link up and coordinate their activities to control and combat illegal fishing, but we were sceptical of the benefits of creating the Community Fisheries Control Agency (CFCA) because we believe that some of its competences clash with those of the Member States. This is a centralisation that, apart from anything else, is not beneficial in terms of the necessary effectiveness of control activities.
We have also stated our disagreement in terms of the representativeness of the Administrative Board of the CFCA, its operational model and the excessive weight that the European Commission has within it, namely in terms of its voting system.
Furthermore, we would now say that if the CFCA is allocated a budget of EUR 10 100 000 (financial year 2009), the Member States are already being denied the possibility that the EU contribution to financing control activities could increase, in line with the proposal we tabled recently in Parliament, which was, unfortunately, rejected by the majority."@en1
