"Fishing is one of the oldest human activities, and fish are an important and irreplaceable component of human nutrition. This is one of the reasons why we must make an effort to protect and maintain fish populations. The role of fisheries as a supplier of food for human beings is both long term and widely acknowledged. The fisheries sector, including wild and farmed fish, is an activity that contributes to the production of irreplaceable common goods through the three main strands of fishing, processing and marketing. The fisheries sector provides European citizens with high-quality food and creates economic and social added value for the EU. The reformed common fisheries policy (CFP) therefore needs to guarantee the sustainable exploitation of fisheries resources and the preservation of fish stocks at a healthy level, in such a way that fishing activities can continue in their traditional areas and communities in the long term.
The fisheries sector is one of the most important pillars of food security in the European Union and, as such, its sustainability and stability must be guaranteed by the CFP reform, so that, in the future, it can provide fisheries products of sufficient quality and in sufficient quantity to satisfy the demand from more than half a billion EU citizens."@en1
