"The European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF), which should in theory be operational on 1 January 2014, has a total budget of EUR 6.5 billion for maritime affairs and fisheries. Consequently, and in view of the current crisis, we would like to make sure that this money is dedicated to the greater good. If we opted to make the common agricultural policy greener with new environmental conditions, why should the same requirements not apply to the fishing industry, when we know that the ocean biomass is in a critical state? The text of the fisheries reform proposed several months ago by the European Commissioner for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, Ms Damanaki, sought ‘to promote sustainable and competitive fisheries and aquaculture’. However, it has to be said that the proposals of certain political groups and Member States seem a long way from the spirit of the reform. The idea that a temporary ban on fishing in the Atlantic would protect stocks and ultimately increase the revenue of the fishing industry is gaining currency and therefore merits close examination."@en1
