"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the fisheries sector is an economic tool of paramount importance for Europe, and it needs safeguards and guarantees that stem from joint action at European level, with the needs of individual Member States taken into account. The volume of illegal fishing is estimated at between 11 and 26 million tonnes per year, equivalent to approximately 15% of catches. These are shocking statistics that require our institution to adopt measures aimed at curbing this phenomenon, which harms consumers and businesses alike. I therefore voted in favour of this report because, while, on the one hand, it is good to thoroughly consider any steps taken to combat illegal practices, on the other, we must not increase the bureaucratic barriers that restrict business activities and the development of businesses themselves, especially during a period of crisis such as this."@en1
