Introduction: Wang Huizhong, deputy to the Ninth National People's Congress and Secretary of Zhoushan Municipal Party committee, pointed out at the fifth session of the Ninth National People's Congress that with the entry into force of the China Japan fisheries agreement, especially the China South Korea fisheries agreement in June last year, Zhoushan's traditional fisheries have been greatly impacted According to the provisions of the agreement, the fishing space of fishermen in China has been greatly reduced, resulting in a sharp decline in fishing output and fishermen's income At the same time, it also makes fishery related industries "share" the serious consequences of this adverse impact The representative of Wang Huizhong said that Zhoushan is a key fishing area in China Of the 1 million people, the fishery population is 250000, and the population involved in various industries is more than 500000 Premier Zhu Rongji put forward in the report on the work of the government to increase the efficiency of agriculture and the income of farmers But judging from the situation in Zhoushan, the 250000 fishermen in Zhoushan are not only hard to increase their income, but also facing the severe situation of income decline The central government and relevant departments should attach great importance to this phenomenon and give practical help Tang Houyun, deputy of the Ninth National People's Congress from Shandong delegation, is a genuine fisherman During the fifth session of the Ninth National People's Congress, Tang Houyun also made their voice on behalf of many fishermen along the coast of China Tang Houyun said that the entry into force and implementation of China Japan, China South Korea fisheries agreement and China Vietnam Beibu Gulf maritime demarcation agreement have greatly reduced the traditional fishing grounds of Chinese fishermen, while at the same time, domestic fishing resources are still declining The representative of Tang Houyun proposed that ocean fishing should be taken as a strategic measure for the sustainable development of ocean fishing, be included in the important agenda of fishery economic work, make full use of high seas and foreign fishery resources, strengthen joint ventures and cooperation with relevant countries, help some developing countries to develop projects such as mariculture, aquatic processing, fishing vessel repair and port construction, and then strive for progress Enter their waters to engage in ocean fishing, and ultimately achieve the goal of "win-win" In view of the disadvantageous position of aquatic products in the international competition after China's accession to the WTO, Tang Houyun's representative thought that from the characteristics of the current international aquatic products trade, product quality has become the most important trade barrier Developed countries often restrict the export of aquatic products in China under the pretext of health standards In order to deal with this challenge, we must attach great importance to the food safety of aquatic products and strictly control and manage the production of aquatic products in accordance with international norms The representative of Wang Huizhong suggested that the state should strengthen the mechanism of marine pollution control and compensation On the one hand, the state should continue to strengthen the management of marine pollution sources and never be soft; on the other hand, the fishermen affected by pollution must have a certain compensation mechanism At the same time, the state should establish a unified, efficient and smooth maritime security coordination mechanism In addition, the State shall give support policies to the fishermen in the fishing areas for their transfer of production and business As soon as possible, the vast number of fishermen and all kinds of workers involved in fishing industry in China's coastal areas will be freed from the current temporary difficulties (author:) share to feed Weibo share to:
