I voted against the Gerbrandy report on a resource-efficient Europe. I have no particular problem with the general structure of the report, which forms part of the ‘Europe 2020’ strategy. However, I am against the idea that supposed ‘overcapacity' in the European fishing fleet should be deemed a key component of the reform of the common fisheries policy. I would like to point out that, in the absence of data on the European fleet’s capacity, it is impossible to complain of overcapacity in that self-same fleet.
