"Mr President, I would like to congratulate all the rapporteurs and, in particular, I would like to thank and congratulate Struan Stevenson for the enormous amount of work that he put into preparing his report. It is worth noting that the rapporteur took part in very many meetings, not just with shadow rapporteurs and interested Members of the European Parliament, but also with a large number of fishermen, industry representatives and scientists, and I would like to offer my special thanks for that fact.
The report lays emphasis on the future of small-scale fishing, which plays a very important role in the economies of EU Member States. This consists, primarily, of family businesses, which are particularly sensitive to the functioning of, and changes in, the single market. Where individual fishermen compete with industrial fishing, the individual will always lose. I hope that this report will not only help to preserve small-scale fishing, but will also enable the fishing sector to be competitive while maintaining its varied structure."@en1
