Draft opinion
Paragraph 8
Paragraph 8
8. Stresses that European added value in fisheries management has to date been largely associated with a reduction in the capacity of fishing fleets; is of the opinion that in the post-2020 MFF a balance between the fisheries resources available and fleet capacity will have to be taken into account; highlights, however, that when reducing fishing opportunities, support should be allocated to withdrawal from fishing activities and increased funding should be allocated to cutting the number of fishing vessels; feels that other elements with a non-quantifiable added value should be considered as well, such as the role the fishing sector plays in communities highly dependent on this activity in terms of employment and local growth; underlines, therefore, that fisheries must remain independent in order to support these communities;

Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
3. Considers that the next multiannual financial framework (MFF) should allow for adequate EU funding, including structural and investment funds, for projects which contribute, in particular, to the completion of the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) core network and its corridors and of links to the transport network of national and local importance; reiterates that financial instruments cannot replace grants for TEN- T projects, as only grants can maximise output on the ground; considers, furthermore, that better coordination of EU instruments related to transport, including blending of grants and innovative financial instruments, can facilitate project implementation and catalyse private financing;
