This area is an important spawning ground, rich in juvenile fish.

Vast stretches of the North Sea have been protected whilst the spawning season gets under way.

Variable closed periods should also be introduced that fit in with fish spawning cycles.

The Irish Box is one of the most important nursery and spawning grounds in European waters.

By setting up reserves at spawning locations, fish are given the opportunity of reproducing at their leisure.

It is the spawning ground for many of our fish species.

We must ensure proper protection for sensitive nursery and spawning grounds such as the Irish Box.

Now the scientists agree that there are an estimated 400 000 tonnes of haddock spawning stock biomass in the North Sea.

But in the interests of protecting the juvenile cod and the spawning period, they cooperated and were very positive.

Rivers and streams that make good spawning grounds must be made suitable to permit increases in salmon stocks.

Waters in this zone are important spawning grounds, which is why there has been a derogation from free access in these waters.

It is only by action at the EU level that we can take action against false food scares and bring reality to bear.

Nor do we need any further reduction of fish stocks to understand the vital importance of water areas as breeding grounds.

Furthermore, as a suggestion to the Commission, some of the areas should perhaps be protected during the spawning period, so that there is no fishing at that time.

Let me reiterate and emphasise that the area known as the Irish Box is a rich fishing area with a high concentration of juvenile fish and spawning grounds.

The Commissioner may be aware that for the last two years the Irish Sea has been closed at spawning time to aid stock recovery.

The proposal calls for a ban on the use of helicopters and on fishing during the months of June and August, particularly during the spawning season for bluefin tuna.

An interesting project for all those involved would be to help those countries to better manage this zone where spawning takes place and where the highest concentration of young fish is to be found.
