<s>[INST] The next text is a question of a member of the European parliament:"On a recent visit to the island of Madeira the regional authorities drew my attention to the serious harm caused by the lack of support for the renewal and modernisation of the local fishing fleet, which is dominated by small-scale fishing. This lack of support shows a disregard for the diversity that characterises fisheries in theEU and the significant differences as regards the average age of the fleet in the various countries, and indirectly benefits large-scale industrial fishing to the detriment of small-scale fishing, where vessels have a shorter average lifespan.    Can the Commission answer the following questions:      1.  What is the average age of the fleet in each of theEU Member States?      2.  What is the average age of the different segments of the fleet in each of these countries, in particular the industrial fishing and the small-scale fishing fleet?      3.  How will the Commission take account of the differences that exist and ensure that countries and/or segments where the average age of the fleet is higher are not placed at a disadvantage?      4.  How are aspects such as safety taken into account, given this short-sighted lack of support for fleet renewal and modernisation?      5.  How will the Commission tackle this situation in the future?"
