lpv:translated text	"Although Lithuania is small, the fishing sector plays an important economic and social role for small communities in my country. Illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing poses a major threat to the sustainability of fishing in Lithuania. Fish stocks are wasted, the marine environment is destroyed and honest fishermen find themselves in an uncomfortable position. In the Baltic Sea alone, 3800 jobs are under threat because of illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing. According to the Pew Environment Group, unreported fishing costs Lithuanian fishermen more than EUR 1.1 million every year. This is a huge sum of money given the size of my country and the fact that these problems can be avoided. Unregulated fishing is particularly destructive for cod fishing in the Baltic Sea, which is already in a poor state. Cod is the most valuable fish in the Baltic Sea and the majority of Lithuanian fishermen are dependent on cod stocks. However, our cod fishermen are faced with illegal, unreported and unregulated catches of 40% above official landings. If illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing came to an end, cod fishing in the Baltic Sea could recover. However, for that to happen we must fill the gaps enabling illegal operators to profit from their activities. We must impose harsher penalties against offenders."@en1
