"I welcome the adoption of this report, which reconciles the challenges facing the sector: product quality for consumers, sustainability and economic viability of fishing activities. In this respect, the role of producer organisations must be strengthened, as a counter-balance to the power of retailers, prices must be set that are reasonable for the consumer and fair for the fishermen, and fishing quotas must be managed. The sector must of course remain competitive, but not at any price: nobody wants to witness the disappearance of our artisanal fishing, threatened by intensive practices, climate change and market tensions. Fishing is deeply rooted in our culture and our heritage, and I refused to compromise on the protection of our model of fishing and aquaculture. With this vote, Parliament has established an optimal framework to protect our fishermen and manage stocks sustainably, by means of a balanced approach adapted to the specificities of different fishing areas. Furthermore, I supported this report’s major innovation: the creation of a European eco-label, which will guarantee the conservation of fish stocks and ensure the traceability of fishery products from the boat to the plate."@en1
