lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I wish to comment on environmental issues. We all recognize that fisheries the world over have fallen dangerously. This is due to many reasons, but there are two main causes: one is pollution and the other is overfishing. I shall not comment on the major problem of pollution, except to quote one statistic: that over the last 15 years in the Mediterranean alone 55 000 tonnes of oil have been spilled as a result of various accidents at sea and have polluted the shores. Today I shall comment on overfishing. In the past we had areas in seas out of reach of human activity. Now we fish everywhere. Today protected areas in the Mediterranean total just 2%, while scientists are stressing that they should be 20%. There is an ecological need for us to define protected areas, for us to extend the Natura 2000 network to seas. Otherwise the future will be catastrophic. To close, I wish to say that fishermen may be displeased, but the measure I propose is in their interest. If we do not take measures, we shall soon have dead seas and fishermen will have boats and nets but there will be no fish for them to catch."@en1
