"The question of maritime piracy, especially in the region of Somalia, is also a matter of concern and has caused damage to the Greek merchant fleet. This motion for a resolution, which I supported, reiterates the European Parliament’s serious concerns about the continuing and increased threat from maritime piracy and armed robbery to international shipping and calls on the High Representative and the Member States to urgently consider ways of liberating the 191 seafarers currently being held hostage. Clearly, the inability to arrest and hence punish those engaged in practices that constitute piracy is putting the international community at risk and encouraging these practices to continue. That is why the European Parliament calls for immediate and effective measures to be taken to prosecute those suspected of acts of piracy, urges third countries and the EU Member States that have not yet transposed into their national law all the provisions laid down by the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea and the UN Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Acts against the Safety of Maritime Navigation to do so immediately, and calls on the Council and the Commission to examine opportunities for creating specialised anti-piracy courts in the countries in the region, so that pirates can be prosecuted locally."@en1
