lpv:spoken text	"I supported the resolution on maritime piracy which requires a coordinated response. The fight against piracy will not be won solely by military means but through promotion of peace, development and state-building. I welcome the decision to extend the EU’s counter-piracy operation for two years to protect vessels of the World Food Programme. I welcome the commitment of an additional EUR 175 million through the European Development Fund (EDF) to provide lasting solutions to the root causes of piracy, namely poverty and state failure, and to support development projects for sustainable economic growth. We must liberate those currently being held hostage by pirates and secure the release of the seven hijacked vessels. We need enhanced coordination between the EU and other international actors to achieve a comprehensive approach to fight piracy. We need more effective measures to punish those suspected of acts of piracy. EU Member States need to put into 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 Navigations. Member States need to investigate and confiscate money which is paid as ransom to pirates in order to identify and dismantle organised crime networks."@en1
