lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I would like to thank all the speakers in this debate for their kind words and can I also thank my assistant, Catherine Stack, for all the hard work she had done on this report. First of all, let me address one of the issues that the Commissioner brought up on multiannual plans, and I really want to address this to the President-in-Office of the Council, Mr Mavroyiannis, and say how much I support what the Commissioner said: without multiannual plans, President-in-Office, we have no effective CFP reform. You cannot say to our fishermen that you can have the confidence of stability in the sector for the months and years ahead unless we get multiannual plans in place. Three of our reports, including one from my colleague, Pat the Cope Gallagher, have been blocked for over three years in this deadlock. This is no use. We really have to make some progress on this and I appeal to the Council to try to make a breakthrough on multiannual plans. Mr Mavroyiannis, I support the position that you have taken this evening on things like TFCs being voluntary, on boosting aquaculture, on the need for setting a deadline for MSY, on the discards ban and I also thoroughly agree with the Council position. I want to say this to Ms Damanaki on labelling. When I was in Galicia, the fishermen said to me that if coastal fishermen go out for several days and keep their catch on liquid ice, then when they land their catch, it is perfectly fresh and in great condition. Inshore fishermen may go out and come back in 24 hours but they have their catch lying in the sun for all of that time. The consumer, however, would be left with the impression from the mandatory date of catch that the poorer quality fish was actually better. I think that is unfair; it is an unfair advantage. Therefore, a voluntary label for date of catch and a mandatory label for date of landing are essential."@en1
