The three issues I have mentioned are of serious importance for Ireland in the context of the reform of the Common Fisheries Policy. The forthcoming negotiations represent Ireland's last chance to right the previous wrong as regards resource allocation criteria in particular, as well as preserve the Hague preferences and the restrictions in the Irish Box. I advise the Minister of State to be cautious during the negotiations; it is vitally important that we do not allow any one of the three matters I have outlined to be used as currency, or for one to played off against another. The three concerns are of equal importance and we must seek to gain ground on each of them. CFP reforms must safeguard the future of fragile and remote coastal communities which depend on fishing.
