Hélène Goudin and Nils Lundgren (IND/DEM ),
in writing.
(SV)
It is the June List’s fundamental view that matters relating to fishing should be handled within the framework of existing international organisations. This means that the EU should not operate a common fisheries policy or prescribe fishing quotas. Sustainable fishing is a precondition for the continued existence of the fishing industry. Experience shows that the EU does not prioritise sustainable fishing. As an example, the fishing quotas prescribed for cod in the Baltic Sea have been subject to extensive criticism by the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation, amongst others.
