"Mr President, first of all I would like to congratulate our colleague Mr Romeva i Rueda for his efforts in this report. But despite our efforts and international efforts during the past thirty-five years, stocks of bluefin tuna are now critically low.
A large part of the reason is of course illegal fishing, more often than not by vessels which are registered to countries which lack the will or the resources to enforce international agreements. No amount of traceability measures or extra paperwork will address the problem of reducing fish stocks if so many vessels are still operating illegally and with impunity.
The Commission must therefore put pressure on the EU Member States to end the practice which allows foreign vessels to register easily and operate under their flags. It is of no benefit to Member States to turn a blind eye to illegal fishing. The threat to bluefin tuna and to the biodiversity of our oceans as a whole will continue to grow unless we address this crucial point."@en1
