"I voted in favour of the European Parliament resolution on maritime piracy. Maritime transport has been one of the key factors contributing to economic growth and prosperity in Europe throughout its history, and more than 80% of world trade is carried out by sea. Unfortunately, piracy poses a threat to international security and regional stability. This is why the EU has a genuine interest in contributing to international maritime security and the fight against piracy and its deep-rooted causes. Since 10 000 European ships pass through dangerous maritime areas every year, piracy poses not only a problem to human life and safety, but also an economic problem, as it jeopardises the international commercial maritime routes, entailing a considerable adverse impact on global trade. We call for immediate and effective measures to prosecute and punish those suspected of acts of maritime piracy. We urge third countries and EU Member States which have not yet done so to transpose into their national legislation all the provisions set out in 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."@en1
