It fully intends to play its part by bringing the fishermen’s points of view and those of EU policy-makers closer together. As an elected representative from a port town, I am always struck by how the fishing sector mistrusts and sees itself as remote from the common fisheries policy (CFP), whereas farmers for example clearly feel themselves to be more a part of the common agricultural policy.
Élue d’une ville portuaire, je suis toujours frappée de constater la distance, voire la méfiance des acteurs de la filière pêche avec la PCP quand les agriculteurs, par exemple, se sentent manifestement plus en proximité avec la PAC.
