"Mr President, Commissioner, I unreservedly support this legislation with all my heart because it really is a demonstration of solidarity. The saving of vital resources, resources worth EUR 20 million in the case of Greece, is not the only positive point; the facility to access European resources acquired by these companies is also a positive point.
Many countries have been hit by the crisis. The crisis has hit the whole of Europe and today, certain countries which are unable to give their contribution, have seen the ugly face of it. Reducing the own contribution rate will allow these countries to use these resources, resources which, in the case of Greece, total EUR 207 million; resources that could not otherwise be used.
These resources offer an opportunity to finance the Fisheries Fund’s priorities, such as sustainable development, sustainable fisheries and the development of coastal areas and support for young fishermen. That is very important at a time when the harsh face of the crisis is the face of youth unemployment, which is close to 50% in many of the countries that have been hard hit by the crisis.
This legislation clearly gets to the heart of the problem. The real message for the Mediterranean countries that will benefit from this regulation and for the other countries in the European Union is that we must seize the opportunity to apply either the Mediterranean Regulation or other regulations on fisheries, so that we can guarantee that there will be fish, so that we can guarantee that fisheries resources will be protected, so that there will be fish in the sea and the jobs we so sorely need."@en1
