"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, first of all, I would like to stress that no country is capable, by itself, of dealing with the problem of biodiversity loss. The Member State governments must cooperate with each other.
I call on the Commission to re-examine the maximum sustainable yield, taking account of all aspects of fish populations, in particular, size, age and reproductive status, and addressing the issue of multi-species stocks.
I would like to point out that achieving the six targets of the new EU biodiversity strategy to 2020 depends on compliance with the rules already laid down by the EU and proper management of the relevant initiatives and programmes, in particular, the Natura 2000 network of protected areas and the LIFE+ programme.
Lastly, I would like to highlight that the key element of the EU’s commitment lies in the forthcoming reforms of the common agricultural and fisheries policies, and in the multiannual financial framework, and I would point out that the inadequate degree to which biodiversity protection was integrated into EU policies caused the failure of the first strategy.
To conclude, I would remind you that when they took the last reservation away from Sitting Bull, he told the President of the United States something that should serve as a warning to us all: ‘Only after the last tree has been felled, only after the last buffalo has been killed, only after the last fish has been caught, only then will you find that money cannot be eaten’. Let us keep these words in mind."@en1
