"The proposal for a regulation adopted today, and on which I was the designated rapporteur, aims to transpose some of the recommendations adopted by the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM) into a single piece of EU legislation.
The implementation of these recommendations is essential in order to safeguard biodiversity in the Mediterranean and the sustainable management of fishery stocks, not to mention preventing the Mediterranean from being turned into a dead sea. Allow me to give a brief summary of the main recommendations that were adopted today: a number of restrictions are to be placed on fishing in the Gulf of Lions; new rules will be brought in on what fishing nets and equipment may be used; and there will be new rules on granting fishing permits, which will be practical and geared towards protecting natural habitats.
The Mediterranean is a very small part of our planet, representing roughly 1% of its seas, but it is extremely rich. Half of all European fishing ships operate in the Mediterranean, while 60% of all work and employment in the fishing sector is based there. Therefore, a healthy ecology in this important sea basin and the promotion of its sustainable development requires a range of measures on conserving and managing marine biological resources."@en1
