"Mr President, the Mediterranean illustrates perfectly the flaws in the common fisheries policy. It is very different from the Baltic or the North Sea, but the EU says one size fits all. The Mediterranean is not an EU sea and the EU has to buy off non-EU countries which are either massively corrupt, dictatorships or failed states. So agreements are not worth the paper they are written on and do nothing to help ordinary people.
This report is full of the usual nonsense, with unrealistic technical measures, unworkable quotas and unworkable minimal sizes of fish. It contains lies and half-truths about the behaviour of non-Western governments. There are no proper controls on subsidies, vested interests or industrial scale fishing. There are massive incentives to simply cheat the system. They are all backed up by platitudes and mother-and-apple-pie sentiments which tell us nothing.
In short, everything here does what you should not do – it reinforces the failure of the common agricultural policy (CAP). And while we are on the subject, Britain wants its territorial waters back and we want British fish for British fish and chips."@en1
