". Illegal, unregulated and unreported (IUU fishing) a highly destructive practice, a mode of fishing that damages the conservation and sustainable management of fish stocks. Tuna fishing is one of the types of fishing worst affected by these illegal practices. It should be added that Community fleets are among the largest exploiters of these stocks. In this context, the EU has played a leading role in combating this type of fishing, specifically by fighting against flags of convenience. These measures are, however, clearly proving to be inadequate. In Portugal, especially on the coast of the Algarve, we are extremely familiar with IUU fishing, but I will not repeat accusations that I have already made in this House. I do support this report, however, which in my opinion will both help to preserve fish stocks and to bring some calm to Community waters. I support this report because it urges Member States to make efforts to prevent their nationals from taking part in illegal fishing activities. I congratulate Mrs McKenna on this report which, when implemented, could effectively solve problems with which we are all familiar, even though we are finding it hard to combat them."@en1
