Hudghton (Greens/EFA) - I voted in favour of the Miguélez Ramos report on deep-sea fisheries. Deep-sea fishing is a fairly recent innovation and a number of previously unexploited fish stocks have been targeted with little scientific research or legal regulation. It is right therefore that these issues are addressed. I welcome the call in Mrs Miguélez Ramos' report for fishermen and their associations to be fully involved in defining measures designed to safeguard the marine environment. Sustainable fisheries depend upon decisions being taken at a local level and involving those to whom they are addressed.
