"Madam President, Commissioner, Mr Morillon, of course we must all congratulate our rapporteur on her outstanding report. We must also begin by noting that the situation as it stands is absolutely unacceptable.
It is unacceptable that the amount of illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing of bluefin tuna, which is the species that has been the subject of most analysis in this connection, is 50% greater than the amount fished legally. This has led to the total depletion of stocks, to the collapse of the value at which fish is sold and in turn to the ruin of the fishermen. This is a situation that the Community cannot continue to tolerate.
Of all the measures put forward here as a means of addressing the problem, I should like to highlight traceability as a vital prerequisite to success. This is the measure that we must ensure is adopted in the very short term and if it is tightly enforced I am sure that we will see a very different situation soon."@en1
