"The European Union is the world’s largest importer of fishery products and one of the world’s major fishing powers. It is therefore justified in playing a crucial role in mobilising the international community in combating illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing (IUU fishing). Such fishing is one of the most serious threats to the biodiversity of the world’s oceans. It is also a significant environmental and economic problem worldwide in marine and freshwater fishing and undermines efforts to manage fishing. It also threatens the sustainability of fish stocks and food security and distorts the market, which has an incalculable social and economic effect, and in particular a negative impact on society as a whole. Through its new wide-ranging and comprehensive set of measures relating to controls, the EU has taken on a leading role in the fight against IUU fishing.
However, I also firmly believe that it is still necessary to seek to intensify coordination between the Commission, the Community Fisheries Control Agency and the Member States in order to improve the gathering and exchange of information and to assist in the consistent and transparent application of EU legislation relating to fisheries. The EU should set an example and should adopt and enforce a policy of transparency in decision-making in the management of this sector in international bodies and in third countries."@en1
