lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the proposal for a resolution does not serve the interests of small-scale and poor fishermen; on the contrary, it will speed up their demise. The common fisheries policy, the instrument of which is the European Fisheries Fund, is resulting in the disappearance of small-scale coastal fishermen by financing the destruction of small fishing craft, with painful economic and social consequences for workers and inhabitants of continental and island areas. The concentration and profitability of large corporate groups active in fisheries and aquaculture and in processing and selling fish products is being reinforced. There is no sign of a reversal in, or an end to, chaotic overfishing and environmental destruction, even in protected areas. All of this is rubberstamped by the governments of the EU Member States because the criterion of the common fisheries policy is to increase the profits of the European monopolies. The reduction in the Member States’ contribution to the European Fisheries Fund is very unlikely to turn out for the best for small-scale fishermen because total funding from the European Union will remain the same, which will translate into a reduction in planned projects and actions and even more selective financing of them. The only eligible projects will be those that come within the strategic objectives of the common fisheries policy and capitalist restructurings under the EU 2020 strategy and bolster the competitiveness and profitability of the European monopolies active in the fisheries sector, thereby speeding up the demise and destruction of poor, small-scale fishermen, especially small-scale coastal fishermen. This is the capitalist growth planned by the European Union, the governments of the Member States and the plutocracy for the common fisheries policy. It will bring about poverty, impoverishment and the persecution of small-scale fishermen and an increase in profits for the European monopolies."@en1
