"Mr President, my congratulations to Mr Ferreira on the report which he has tabled before us, containing proposals for and amendments to the regulation. May I also say that I was especially pleased to hear the views of Commissioner Damanaki.
Speedier financing and the financing facilities offered by the European Fisheries Fund will definitely help in implementing the objectives of the common fisheries policy. This proposal is very important because it has come along at a very important time. We shall soon be required to vote on the Union’s new common fisheries policy, which will set out fisheries policy for the next ten years.
Providing adequate resources and eliminating malfunctions in terms of their take-up are vital if we are to achieve the desired results and safeguard levels and the sustainable exploitation of maritime resources.
As we have heard, the take-up of resources from the Fisheries Fund is very low. I must emphasise that, in Greece in particular, small-scale and coastal fishermen make their living from fishing, meaning that it is very important that we increase resources and facilitate the allocation of resources to fishermen.
At the same time, alongside a smaller national contribution to available resources, please recommend an increase in these resources in the new budget, Commissioner, because fishermen have been hard hit, as we all know.
This report acknowledges the pressure being exerted and how the continuing credit and economic crisis is affecting the income of fishermen and fisheries policy in general. The economic and credit crisis in the Union is, of course, expressed differently in the different Member States, but the whole of Europe is affected. We therefore need to find ways to speed up payment of funds. Please make an effort along these lines and channel money where it is needed without obstacles, in order to generate economic growth and new jobs."@en1
