The reform of the common fisheries policy (CFP) should ensure that traditional fishing activities continue in their traditional areas within a framework of a sustainable balance between environmental protection, social development and economic profitability. I believe the Commission should act by recognising the multifunctionality of fishing activities and the value of its vast and diversified production of public goods, by adopting a holistic approach to the sector, particularly within the framework of the CFP reform, and by rejecting reductionist perspectives that only harm the direct and indirect benefits of the sector.
