Mario Mauro  (PPE ),

The fisheries sector contributes significantly to the economic growth of Europe, not only through its core activity by which it is the fourth largest in the world, providing 6.4 million tonnes of fish each year. For this reason, it is right to ask the Commission to adopt a holistic approach to the sector, particularly in the realm of the reform of the common fisheries policy (CFP), rejecting reductionist perspectives damaging not only the direct and indirect benefits of the sector, but also ignoring the wider range of benefits it produces. I voted in favour of this joint motion for a resolution.
