Zoltán Bagó  (PPE ),

I voted in favour of the proposal because it concerns the protection and the regulation of the rational use of a very important common resource, namely our fish stocks. By strengthening the responsibility of those involved, this ecosystem-based approach contributes to the creation of a protected and sustainable fisheries industry. In doing so, it fulfils an environmental function as well, and can thereby also serve to reduce the impact of the negative changes accompanying climate change. I must specifically highlight that fishing as a core activity, as well as its ancillary activities, are important building blocks of European economic growth.
