BLANEY (ARC). I have only one question for the Commissioner.

I should now like to look briefly at the substance, the external aspects, the internal market and the common policies.

the conservation of marine biological resources under the common fisheries policy

That must be put on record. A date has to be set, on the basis of objective criteria, for the transition to stage two, and it does not matter very much whether it is 1 January 1993 or 1 January 1994.

At the same time that we hear the Commission day after day saying they want to defend the family farmer, they want to maintain small farms, they are reducing support for butter consumption and doing the very opposite.

We therefore have to look at ways of building up this biomass.

But I emphasize the fact that this does not exempt us from a detailed examination of these provisions and even during the provisional period the Temporary Committee of this House is authorised to draw our attention to any point which may have escaped us.

Turning to the Commission's proposal to reform the fisheries structural policy, may I congratulate Mr Arias on his work.

Of course I support the compromise about parliamentary consultation, which has been a burning question in my political life since the establishment of the CFP.

I thank the fisheries sub committee for supporting my amendments.

Subject Capacity of the fishing fleet of the GDR

At a time when the Commission keeps telling us that there is forty per cent overcapacity in the Community fleet, we must ensure that any extension of Community policy to the small boat sector contributes to the necessary decrease in the fleet.

My area is host to 50 of the UK fleet.

With regard to structural policy and the fishing fleet in particular, the Commission proposal (COM(90) 400 final) is based on the principle that Community regulations should be observed in their entirety when the fishing fleet of the former GDR is being integrated into the Community fleet.

VON ALEMANN (LDR). Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, Mrs Salisch has just appealed to the House to vote against the Commission's proposal. Mrs Salisch will not be very surprised if the Liberal, Democratic and Reformist Group does not heed this appeal.

The cause of the Pacific bluefin tuna's plight, according to the IUCN?

This is peak fishing in a few seconds. The '60s.

Assessing working conditions and safety in fishing and fish processing

appreciate that because the decision, under Article 23 of the Basic Law, of East Germany to unite with West Germany on 3 October 1990, even before the elections, still planned for the beginning of December, are held means that we are forced, quite exceptionally, to request interim measures to face the situation.

This first reading only deals with proposals for interim measures. And I must express my sincere gratitude to the Temporary Committee and its rapporteur, Mr Donnelly, for their willingness to stick to this timetable under difficult circumstances.

Assessment of working conditions and safety in fishing and fish processing

At EU level, meanwhile, the reform of the Common Fisheries Policy agreed in 2002 has focused attention on the need to improve compliance with the rules which apply to EU fishermen and waters.

The Japanese fishing fleet catches more than 1000 whales per year on the pretext of scientific research.

(c) Supporting ongoing and future negotiations to establish new regional or subregional fisheries management organizations and arrangements in areas where such bodies are not currently in place, and to strengthen existing subregional and regional fisheries management organizations and arrangements

assess the likely environmental impact of fishing, with a view to adopting the necessary remedial measures.

But it is the situation, and not the will of the Commission, which forces us to request an exceptional delegation of powers.

The fishery in Kochi has long provided the country with the bulk of this key staple of Japanese cuisine.

The expansiveness of the country's maritime borders makes it difficult for Japan to assert its sovereignty and prevent overfishing.

At the moment we attempt to protect workers' rights by means of the trade unions.

In reply to the honourable Member's question, I would assure you that the Commission has carefully examined all the different aspects of the common fisheries policy within the general context of the integration of the GDR into the Community.

At all events, more information is needed about the situation in the sector, and the role of professionals and their organisations must be bolstered, since the success of any fisheries policy depends on shipowners' and fishermen's support for its objectives.

Fiscal and structural policies

This proposal was put forward by the Dutch Socialist delegation during a working visit to the Dutch Fisheries Research Institute at IJmuiden.

(a) Facilitating the participation of developing States parties in relevant regional and subregional fisheries management organizations and arrangements

We teamed up underwater photographer Brian Skerry and photojournalist Randy Olson to document the depletion of the world's fisheries.

PRESIDENT. There may have been some confusion, but it was not the fault of the Chair.
