"Mr President, we have heard concern about the fishing industry from the PPE Members, from the Irish, from the Spanish and the Italians and others. I do not think they know what they have been doing today. We know we are overfishing, we know our fish stocks are depleted and yet they voted today for an amendment which says we shall not rebuild our fish stocks. Let me repeat that: this House voted by a majority of just five for a PPE amendment, signed by Jim Higgins and others, which says we shall not attempt to rebuild our fish stocks.
I am sure they did that for the best possible reasons – give the fishing industry another year, do not make it too difficult by cutting the quotas – but only when you rebuild fish stocks, give a bit of room for the fish to breathe and to grow and to multiply, that is the only way in which the fishing industry is going to have a secure future. I do not know what our citizens out there will think. They will think the people over there are utterly mad to have done that. Of course we need the fish stocks rebuilding. It is utterly mad. They have two months in which to rethink before we have to consider the legislation and vote for it finally."@en1
