European Parliament
Sandbæk (EDD ),
in writing.
(DA)
We are abstaining from voting on the overall report by the Committee on Fisheries because, even though the committee’s report is an improvement upon the Commission’s proposals, we are of the view that, in general, the committee’s report is in favour of the further development of the aquaculture sector in the EU. Since there continue to be many problems associated with this sector, including pollution, we choose to abstain from voting, even though we acknowledge the sterling work done by the committee.
