"I believe that small-scale fishing offers a number of advantages including environmental sustainability since unwanted species or fish under the minimum landing size can be returned to the sea with a low mortality rate. This segment of the fishing sector has shown itself to be remarkably resilient in the face of the challenges of the current global economic crisis. It is also economically sustainable given the number of jobs it generates. New and more coherent objectives must be defined that respond to the needs and the characteristics of small-scale fishing. We must stop undervaluing this sector and provide better management with concrete proposals for support. The potential for development of the sector also depends on strengthening promotion of young people’s involvement. Aware of the existing problems and the potential of small-scale fishing, as well as the important role it plays in the stability of all coastal communities, I voted in favour of the report."@en1
