"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I welcome the measures adopted by the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT), in particular, reducing the Total Allowable Catch (TAC) for bluefin tuna in the eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean from 13 500 tonnes to 12 900 tonnes, tightening up controls, especially relating to the transfer of tuna to cages, and extending the closed season for purse seines in the eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean. I would add that tuna fishing is the most strictly regulated form of fishing within the European Union and probably one of the most tightly regulated in the world. I would therefore like to congratulate Mr Romeva i Rueda on his report. I shall take this opportunity to set the record straight on the reform of the common fisheries policy currently being drafted. Conserving resources is obviously key to the success of this reform, and members of the Committee on Fisheries are well aware of this. Some now want to replace this committee with hard-hitting propaganda campaigns. Please, let the members of this committee work at their own pace so that they can present MEPs with a project that is coherent and realistic. It is very important, in particular, to widen the practice of multiannual long-term management plans for fisheries and to target the maximum sustainable yield. However, I want to reiterate my formal opposition to transferable fishing concessions that would kill off our fisheries model. While you are here, Commissioner, I must tell you that France, contrary to what you have said, was not waiting for Mr Hollande to be elected for it to be a country of justice."@en1
