"Mr President, I would like to thank Commissioner Dalli and all my colleagues who participated in the debate.
We have heard repeatedly from colleagues in this debate that the key issue is the blockage by the Council of these multiannual plans. We attach such importance to this issue that a delegation led by the chairman of the Committee on Fisheries, Gabriel Mato Adrover, went yesterday to see President Schulz himself. He was hugely supportive and said that he has made it his absolute priority that EU legislative democracy lies with this House. We are the directly elected representatives of the citizens of Europe.
It is a disgrace that we are having this debate when Parliament and the Commission are in full agreement and there is no one from the Danish Presidency sitting here, or indeed listening to this debate. They are not treating this with sufficient seriousness. President Schulz agreed to raise this matter with the incoming Cypriot Presidency and, if necessary, to raise it with Council President Herman van Rompuy himself. We need to rattle heads together and get this logjam unblocked.
I would like to raise one final point. Commissioner Dalli, you said that you were accepting – and I am grateful to you – most of the amendments in my report, but you were a bit worried that we were going too far in asking the Commission to consult with STECF, ICES and the Pelagic RAC. I think it is absolutely essential – and you have heard this from many of the speakers in this debate – that the stakeholders themselves must be consulted. It is avoiding consultation with the stakeholders that has led to many of the problems in the fisheries sector. I would ask you to look carefully at the result of today’s votes in the House, and I hope the Commission may then think again."@en1
