European Parliament
Pat the Cope Gallagher  (ALDE ),
in writing.
– The delay by the Council in adopting its first reading has forced the Committee on Fisheries, in frustration, to raise the matter in plenary. As rapporteur for this file, I shall do all possible in conjunction with the shadow rapporteurs, the Committee on Fisheries, the Commission and the Council to reach a satisfactory conclusion, which may not necessarily create a precedent for other management plans.
