"Madam President, I voted in favour of adopting the recommendation on a future regulation for fishing within the framework of the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean agreement.
The Mediterranean is the most threatened aquatic ecosystem in Europe. Many species of fish, coral and other animals have been harvested here on such a massive scale that it has led to an irreplaceable loss of certain species. Many others are seriously at risk. The problem is that, within species, individuals with a similar DNA make-up survive, which puts the entire local ecosystem more at risk. A change to the food chain, to pollution or to the climate that is small in itself may lead to the extinction of further species. The activity of this Commission is therefore essential to the protection of biodiversity, reducing the number of possible catches and increasing the number of reservations where fishing is prohibited.
Humanity has, through its approach, made fishing one of the activities most under threat, and humanity must now help to regenerate it. Fishermen may have less work today, but they must also have work in the future. All-out catches would mean the definitive loss of fishing as a sector. It is our duty to preserve species biodiversity and fishing for future generations."@en1
