Paragraph 12 a (new)
12a. Believes that the value chain of fisheries products is complex, going from producers through various middlemen to the retailer or restaurant; highlights that fish brokers and fish processors play an important role in the value chain; notes that, on average, the margin in the value chain is that only 10% go to the producers, and the remaining 90% are for the intermediaries; underlines that the shortening of the value chain, notably through the establishment of producer organisations which are key players through their production and marketing plans, is an initial vehicle to improving the income of the small-scale fishers, but also of getting a better product (probably at a better price) to the consumer;
