Paragraph 1
Paragraph 1
1. WelcomEndorses the Commission's fisheries and maritime policy proposals in the 2011 general budget despite the fact that the 2007-2013 multiannual financial framework does not take adequate account of the political importance of the common fisheries policy (CFP), in particular as regards the political expectations from greater European Union involvement in fisheries control, in fisheries research and in cushioning the social effects of what is a necessary reduction in capacity;
