lpv:translated text	"Madam President, I too would like to thank Mrs Aubert and to commend her on her outstanding report, which I endorse. Not only does illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing endanger biodiversity and the environment, leading to costs that in many cases may be impossible to recoup completely, but it also represents – as previous speakers have mentioned – a significant cost for many societies that currently live from fishing and that hope future generations can do likewise. In this regard, I feel that the EU has a twofold responsibility. First and foremost, it must set an example to the world and demonstrate by deed and in particular by willingness, that the fight against illegal fishing is one of its priorities. Secondly, it must take the lead on the world stage in the fight against illegal fishing, which involves using existing EU mechanisms – be it via fishing agreements or via cooperation with third countries – and always to include some clauses leading to the prioritisation of this issue. At the same time, however, given that one of the key problems in detecting and combating illegal fishing is – as previous speakers have also mentioned – the issues of traceability and of fisheries control is vital inasmuch as it is often impossible to know whether illegal fishing has taken place. Mechanisms must therefore be established to enhance traceability. To this end, I also wish to say that in December, this Chamber adopted a resolution on eco-labelling. Many of the proposals in this resolution would help the fight against illegal fishing by means of much-needed traceability mechanisms. I too welcome the report’s call for the Commission to present its eco-labelling proposal by June."@en1
