lpv:spoken text	"First of all I would like to support very much what my colleague Mr Piétrasanta said and say that our group will be voting for the reports by Mr Piétrasanta and Mr Varela Suanzes-Carpegna. I only have two points I want to make. The first concerns the very important amendment tabled by my colleague Mr Piétrasanta in committee. Stocks of blue and white marlin are severely depleted in the Atlantic and they do need protection. In 1996 ICAT adopted a resolution saying that the contracting party should promote the use of mono-filament leaders in recreational and long-line fisheries. This gear helps with the live release of marlin and so can contribute to the conservation of the stocks. Mr Piétrasanta wanted to strengthen this resolution by saying that the gear should be obligatory rather than just simply encouraged. After all the stocks need our help. However, the amendment was defeated as it would have interfered with the catching of sharks by EU industry. However, there are no international or even European regulations on shark-fishing and these species are also in some cases over-fished. It is unacceptable to reject measures to conserve depleted species because they would hurt completely unregulated fisheries for other depleted species. The second point I want to make is in relation to the financial contribution report by Mr Varela Suanzes-Carpegna. Member States should finance measures, including observer programmes, to monitor their responsibilities. The Commission has offered to fund half the cost and that is sufficient. We will be opposing one amendment, but supporting the overall report."@en1
