"Fishing is a global activity, as inevitably is the illegal part of it. Illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing causes significant harm to a common heritage of humankind, of which the oceans and their immense but finite resources form a part. It is estimated that it accounts for at least 15% of the total volume of catches, although it may in fact account for a much higher percentage. Preserving this heritage is undoubtedly a task and a responsibility for all humankind. For this reason, it is a priority that we take into account the fight against illegal fishing in the context of the international cooperation established among multilateral organisations such as the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO). Thus, of particular importance are the FAO agreement on measures to be implemented by port states, the United Nations Fish Stocks Agreement, the FAO Compliance Agreement and the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. We disagree, however, on the creation of a European coastguard, as proposed by the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats). These amendments clearly go beyond the scope of the report and the debate that took place when it was being prepared. In addition, these amendments are, as is well known, far from consensual, unlike most of the other measures proposed in the report, some of which are innovative."@en1
