"Mr President, last week, three Basque tuna boats from Bermeo were threatened once again by Somalian pirates. We are concerned about the repeated attacks on fishing boats in the area, the fact that the victims feel unsafe and that the Spanish Government is failing to act. These attacks could get worse with the arrival of the monsoons, as the fishermen are saying. Therefore, before it is too late, I want to say to the House that we urgently need armed military escorts on these boats. There are European governments such as France and Italy that have done this, and it has succeeded. The Commission should therefore recommend that all Member States take immediate, effective measures such as this. We urgently need to extend the protection criteria that have been established for merchant navy routes to fishing areas. This House has a problem, which it stated in the Resolution on piracy on 23 October last year. Finally, I would like to reiterate our conviction that Europe needs a common foreign and security policy that makes the European institutions more effective and credible in response to this type of crisis."@en1
