"Mr President, tonight we debate sustainability, and I see by the numbers tonight the importance this European Parliament puts on the jobs of UK fishermen. The common fisheries policy does not know the meaning of the word ‘sustainability’. In UK waters, the common fisheries policy allows non-British fishing ships to decimate the number of fish, devastate the breeding stock of whole species and destroy the livelihoods and prosperity of whole ports such as Grimsby and Hull. The report also talks of external waters and fleets. It is straightforward: the UK must use Brexit to regain control of our waters when the EU becomes an external fleet. They must take second place – play second fiddle to the needs of our ports and our boats. For too long, our waters have been stripped by others. It must stop, and I will do all I can to make it stop. So it must be goodbye to external fleets, goodbye to the CFP on our patch, and goodbye to unworkable rules. Then it can be: hello, real sustainability."@en1
