Fishermen: Sarkozy assures of his "determination to defend their interests"
AP - there 28 minutesPARIS -
President Nicolas Sarkozy on Tuesday assured the fishermen of his "determination to defend the interests of this sector essential to the economy of our coast", recalling the emergency plan adopted by the government.
"Aware of the new worsening of the situation linked to the increase in the price of diesel", Mr. Sarkozy specifies, in a letter addressed to Pierre-Georges Dachicourt, president of the National Maritime Fisheries Committee, to have "asked the government to examine the individual situation of fishing companies in difficulty and to adapt the measures of the plan to this new context in the coming days ".
The Head of State underlines that "the plan for sustainable and responsible fishing, which amounts to 310 million euros over three years, is largely committed", and that "the commitments made on November 6 have therefore been kept within the allotted time ".
"Since the beginning of this year, 53 million euros have already been committed and 30 million paid to mainly strengthen the economic viability of fishing companies", details the president in his letter circulated by the Elysee. "Initial emergency aid has been paid to more than 1.320 vessels for a total of 8,6 million euros. A restructuring plan for the fleet has been committed for almost 42 million euros".
"From June, the balance of emergency aid will be paid and the first blue contracts will be implemented," he said.
"You know my deep attachment to your industry, who participates in the identity of our country with its three maritime facades. You can count on my determination to defend the interests of this sector, which is essential to the economy of our coastline, ”concludes the President of the Republic.

Like Sarko said (jargon for him) the same as me on the identity of our country with her three seaboards. He is not at a promise near including Gandrange (Moselle) for Arcelor Mittal in January and 2 months after, he can not do anything anymore .....
Note the restructuring plan, I suppose "scrapping" of old boats (how many out of the 1320?) And compensation for fishermen who stop this job?
