"Combating illegal fishing is of major importance as this activity represents one of the gravest threats facing the biodiversity of the oceans, and it constitutes unfair competition for fishermen who abide by the rules in force. In adopting this report, the European Parliament is calling for coordinated international action to combat this type of fishing, by proposing that inspections at sea be enhanced, that the marketing of these products be banned and that penalties be imposed on negligent states. The volume of catches from illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing has been estimated at between 11 and 26 million tonnes a year, equivalent to 15% of the overall catches. This makes it impossible to manage the world's marine resources sustainably from an economic, social or environmental point of view. In order for the fight against IUU fishing to be effective, there is a need for international cooperation and a comprehensive exchange of information on fishing vessels, their activities and their catches."@en1
