"Madam President, the fishing community is one that has faced growing pressures from a multitude of factors in recent years, including pollution, climate change and overfishing, which make it increasingly difficult for fishermen to earn a reliable income. Due to the diversification of the fishing industry to include other activities, such as fisheries—related tourism, communities that rely on their fishing industry will hopefully be revitalised and incomes will be stabilised.
Coming from a country like Ireland, where fisheries have always played a vital role in coastal communities – and indeed the wider economy – I am pleased to support this proposal, which will re-energise the fishing industry at a Europe-wide level and, hopefully, create jobs. In view of the decision at the weekend by the United Kingdom Government to withdraw from the London Fisheries Convention and, inter alia, the common fisheries policy, the fishing industry certainly needs new markets and new measures."@en1
