Fisheries (Amendment) Bill, 2002: Second Stage.

 

The redoubled irony is that we have recently been arguing, I understand successfully, to get a derogation of the protocol so that this boat can fish in our waters and do more damage. Let us have a bit of consistency. We must understand that if we want the fishing industry to survive and to protect fish stocks, we must accept some pain in the hope of long-term gain and then fight to protect the resources that exist. There is no point having a mixed and ambiguous response like Mr. Fischler.
