"Mr President, when the Council formulates European policy it needs to do so in an open, transparent and participatory way.
Those were the principles we applied in the anchovy plan which was adopted by Parliament. However, the Council has chosen to follow an antiquated policy, maintaining the status quo
in an obscurantist way, without acknowledging the role of Parliament under the Lisbon Treaty and taking decisions on criteria which are not always in tune with the interests of the fisheries sector or of society as a whole. Meanwhile, the Commission says nothing.
They have to change the way they operate. If they do not, they will continue to enmesh themselves further in the political crisis they have created by their own actions. In the 21st century one leads, one does not command, yet you veto. You negotiate amongst yourselves, but authority and legitimacy should be obtained by consent.
Stop blocking this and other plans. Recognise the role of Parliament, because the challenge is to build the future of the fisheries sector together.
I am sorry to tell the Council and the Commission this, but despite their fine words today, they have disappointed me."@en1
