Il faut que les pêcheurs respectent les règles de conservation et coopèrent avec les scientifiques afin de constituer des stocks de données en matière de pêche qui font cruellement défaut en ce qui concerne la Méditerranée. Comme l'a suggéré la Commission dans son livre vert sur la révision de la PCP, l'Union devrait aider et encourager les organisations de pêcheurs de tous les pays méditerranéens à créer ou à renforcer des organisations propres à promouvoir la coopération entre les parties intéressées".
In response to complaints by Greek fishermen that CFP measures put them at a disadvantage with regard to their counterparts in neighbouring countries who are not subject to these rules, Mr Fischler said "If progress is to be made, I think the attitu
de of fishermen not only in Greece but also in all the Mediterranean countries has to change. EU fishermen and national administrations need to lead the way in the search for sustainable fisheries. Fishermen have to respect conservation rules and co-operate with scientists to help build fisheries data which are sorely missing in the Mediterranean. As the Commission suggested in its Green Paper
...[+++] on the review of the CFP, the Union should help and encourage fishermen's organisations from all the Mediterranean states to create or to strengthen organisations aiming to promote co-operation among the interested parties".
