lpv:translated text	"Commissioner, you have just outlined proposals on the reform of the common fisheries policy and these have instantly sparked controversy. In your proposals, and quite apart from the many positive aspects that they contain – I am thinking in particular of the areas of control and sanctions, on which everyone seems to agree – there are two points that we see as essential which have not been taken into account. The first point is the reference to total allowable catches, the infamous TACs, and the question of quotas, which should remain the cornerstone of the common fisheries policy. The second point that I would like to highlight, one that has not been taken into account, one that has almost been disregarded, is that of economic and social cohesion in this sector and the consequences for local employment, both direct and indirect employment. The only social measures envisaged are retirement or hypothetical retraining plans. Nothing is envisaged for the youngest generations, to train them, to improve working conditions, and therefore to provide investments in safety on vessels. It is unacceptable to propose the protection of species, fish in this case, as the sole criterion in formulating a policy. We believe that the guarantee of sustainability, in any area, is the result of a balance between economic objectives and environmental objectives, of course, but also between social objectives. For a Community policy, a common policy, to be understood and accepted, it must be based on a comprehensive approach, which is not so in the case of the proposals that you are making today for fisheries. I feel that more needs to be said on the subject of the social objectives, including the danger of consigning the social objectives to European Union policies which are now a basic cause of mistrust and, at worst, rejection, of Europe on the part of the citizens. The impact of the measures on regions dependant on fisheries has not been taken into sufficient account and the proposals you have laid before us today will have to be reviewed to eliminate this imbalance."@en1
