"−
Portugal has the third-largest bluefin tuna quota and about 80 Portuguese ships are active in the area of fishing for tuna, which is also a fundamental element of the Portuguese diet. The preservation of this species is therefore crucial for our country, not only because the livelihoods of innumerable families depend on it, but also because it is a fish that is essential to feeding our population.
Therefore, when the rapporteur recalls the possibility of the bluefin’s inclusion in the appendix to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, which would prevent it from being traded, I must stress once again the importance of ensuring adequate protection for endangered wild species whilst at the same time not threatening activities that ensure the economic and social viability of various communities or condemning them to disappearance."@en1
