". Mr President, the Committee on Fisheries has been calling for the strengthening of the common fisheries policy on an international level as well. We must support our fishing industry and help it to be placed on an equal level with giants such as the United States, Russia or Japan. As draftsperson of the Committee on Fisheries, I would like to express my satisfaction with the Committee on Budgets’ support for our proposals on the international fishing organisations and agreements. Firstly, I will refer to our contribution to the international organisations. In an increasingly globalised world, the Union must increase its presence in these organisations which regulate offshore fishing, for reasons of prestige, good management of resources and, above all, the defence of the interests of our industry and our workers. My second point concerns the international agreements. This six-month period, with the French Presidency of the Council, will be decisive in terms of completing the negotiation of these agreements, including, amongst others, the Fisheries Agreement with Morocco. We are all concerned about the prolonged inactivity – seven months now – of the Community fleet which was fishing in Moroccan waters. This is by far the European Union’s most important agreement in this area and our main priority: five hundred boats, thousands of fishermen out of work and many economically paralysed areas depend on its renewal. I would like to congratulate Mrs Haug on her work, which has not been easy, and I am happy that the amounts envisaged by the Commission for the funding of the agreements to be negotiated in 2000 and 2001, the agreement with Morocco amongst others, have been respected. Meanwhile, Mrs Haug, your report is a clear sign of the European Parliament’s support for the Community’s negotiators and for the thousands of European families who are impatiently waiting for the negotiations to be concluded."@en1
