"Mr President, Mr Ó Neachtain’s report is an interesting case of the rapporteur searching for the root cause of a very complex problem, one which is not easy to assess. This problem is that of inshore fishing. This is because in the general sense this term still covers industrial, artisan and holiday fishing. As is the case with any field that is hard to define and that is ambiguous, it is doomed to be marginalised and to remain outside the main current of Union funding and investment programmes, when inshore fishing in fact makes up around 80% of all sea fishing. There is a lack of investment in the sector, it is neglected and faces great technical, social and economic difficulties.
The shortage of funding to modernise fishing equipment results in increasingly defective fishing vessels and, what is worse, cases of vessels sinking. Everyday conditions are getting worse, and catch statistics are falling. This popular and long-traditional fishing sector simply seems to be running out of clear prospects. The appeal for action is thus entirely justified. Action is needed to secure the fundamental bases of inshore fishing. The Member States need to implement common protection mechanisms that will guarantee its existence. These mechanisms are more effective if they take into account the specific situation of this kind of fishing and the inherent conditions, technical needs and economic framework of the relevant inshore zones."@en1
