"By adopting the report by Mrs Fraga Estévez at lunchtime today, Parliament has given its approval for the European Union to enter into a binding international agreement to combat illegal fishing, thereby demonstrating its commitment to responsible fishing also. It is worth reminding ourselves that illegal fishing is still one of the greatest threats to sustainable exploitation of marine biological resources and is as great a threat as intensive fishing. To combat this type of fishing, which depletes marine biological resources and ecosystems, is a vital goal for the European Union. Commissioner Damanaki’s recent announcement of a new fishing control system, which will mean fish can be traced from their place of capture to the dinner table, is encouraging. The introduction of a new points system (building up to suspension of a licence) on 1 January 2012 is particularly important. This system aims to ensure that serious infringements are dealt with in the same way, with deterrent fines of a minimum of five times the market value of the illegally caught fish. This system of traceability, combined with control and sanction powers for inspectors deployed throughout European territory, is a vital tool for curbing illegal fishing."@en1
