WRITTEN QUESTION No. 137/97 by Claudio AZZOLINI , Antonio TAJANI to the Council. Abolition of 'spadare' in Italy  


Official Journal C 319 , 18/10/1997 P. 0029 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-0137/97 by Claudio Azzolini (UPE) and Antonio Tajani (UPE) to the Council (30 January 1997)Subject: Abolition of 'spadare' in ItalyOn 25 April 1996, after extensive consultations with the trade unions and professional organizations, the Italian Government submitted a conversion plan aimed at abolishing 'spadare', the drift-nets used to catch swordfish. A range of financial incentives, funded by the FIFG, are to be provided under the scheme for fishermen and shipowners who hand in their nets by 31 January 1997 and agree to take early retirement or promise to switch to different fishing methods or change occupation.Meeting within the Council on 19 and 20 December 1996, the Ministers for Fisheries merely declared their approval of the plan submitted by the Italian authorities. Adoption of the Council decision on the Community financial contribution to the scheme was postponed until the meting on 14 and 15 April 1997.However, shipowners have to fit out and prepare their vessels for catching swordfish in March, and, if no final decision has been taken, fishing will thus start in the normal way, even though it might have to stop shortly afterwards, resulting in obvious economic damage to an already sorely tried group who have shown their willingness to change to other occupations.Will the Council take special measures to deal with these difficulties, which will affect some 3 000 fishermen, virtually all of whom are based in Objective 1 regions?Answer (16 May 1997)1. On 17 December 1996, the Council received a proposal from the Commission for a specific measure to encourage Italian fishermen to diversify out of certain fishing activities. The purpose of the proposal is to provide financial support for the restructuring and conversion plan drawn up by the Italian Government to eliminate driftnet fishing in the Mediterranean.2. The Council took note of this proposal at its meeting on 19 and 20 December 1996 and agreed to make every effort so that the proposed measure could be adopted at the earliest opportunity.3. Since the proposal is based on Article 43 of the EC Treaty, the Council has consulted the European Parliament.4. Council bodies began examining the proposal in January so that the Council can act on the proposal once the European Parliament has delivered its Opinion. To speed up adoption of the decision, the Council asked the European Parliament to apply the urgent procedure at its March part-session.
