"Mr President, Commissioner, my sincere thanks to the rapporteur and thank you also for the fact that this debate today has been so exciting. In our group there has rarely been a subject that has polarised us so strongly. We – and I personally – worked hard to try to get the bluefin tuna on the list and to get a trade ban in place. We failed in Doha. It would be nice if, in four years’ time, it was no longer necessary to talk about the fact that between 1957 and 2007 stocks of tuna declined by 75% – sometimes it is claimed to be 80% – but that these measures that are being put in place today will on the one hand provide help to the fishing undertakings affected, the people in the regions, and on the other hand also be instrumental in the bluefin tuna not becoming one of the species that we have to consider to be extinct. I understand everyone who is fighting for jobs – that must be our concern, but at the same time species conservation must not be neglected."@en1
