"The resolution we have debated this morning has been signed by almost all political groups, showing that this issue has been tackled across the political spectrum. The text reminds us that there are currently around 200 sailors being held hostage by pirates, who continue to hijack ships carrying humanitarian aid, as well as merchant and fishing ships, in order to get a ransom. The attacks mostly take place off the coast of Somalia and in the western Indian Ocean, as also shown by the United Nations forces currently stationed there. Through this resolution, we are appealing loud and clear for the EU High Representative to obtain the liberation of the hostages and the ships and to support the establishment of an anti-piracy court. The fight against piracy can only be won if the Union tackles the root causes of this phenomenon: extreme poverty and the failure of the State in this area."@en1
