European Parliament
Raül Romeva i Rueda  (Verts/ALE ),
in writing.
– In favour. Fishing is an important ancient activity in human communities that has always provided them with high protein and healthy nourishment, representing today an economic and social added value also contributing to food security and independence for the European Union. I take the view, therefore, that the reformed CFP needs to guarantee the maintenance of the fisheries, in its main activities – extracting, processing and marketing – in its traditional zones, and within the framework of a sustainable balance between environmental protection, social development and economic profitability.
