Dermed ville man i højere grad bidrage til at udvikle fiskeriets betydning for den globale levnedsmiddelforsyning, styrke den økonomiske udvikling i de pågældende lande og undgå faren for, at der med fiskeriaftalen ydes visse medlemslandes fiskerierhverv en indirekte støtte til en fortsættelse af fiskeriaktiviteterne i en situation, hvor der er behov for væsentlige begrænsninger i hele det europæiske fiskeri.
Such a solution would better serve the development of fish as a significant source of food globally, would strengthen economic development in these countries and also remove the risk that often accompanies fishing agreements, whereby fishing operations in certain Member countries receive indirect support to continue their operations in a situation where the whole of the European fishing industry needs to be severely restricted.
