"As with other EU funds such as the European Regional Development Fund and the European Social Fund (ESF), this proposed amendment to the regulation on the European Fisheries Fund (EFF) does not constitute proof of EU solidarity. It only constitutes a sign of flexibility; necessary, certainly, but too little too late. The Commission must therefore consider and respond to the reservations and suggestions that we set out in the report, in particular, those regarding the need to increase the funding available to the countries in question. In addition to measures facilitating increased take-up of EFF funds by Member States, the priorities of the EFF itself must be rethought, gearing it primarily towards support for the productive activity and development of coastal communities, for the rejuvenation of the sector, for employment and vocational training, and for the renovation and modernisation of the fleet and of the infrastructure that support the fishing industry. The amendments proposed by the Council under pressure from certain countries, such as Germany, which will eventually also be included in this report owing to the proposal by the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats), seem to us both superfluous and inappropriate. However, we believe that, in the present situation, it is urgent that this proposal be passed at first reading, despite its obvious limitations."@en1
