lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I welcome the transposition into EU law of the recommendations of the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) which have, most recently, amended the multiannual recovery plan for bluefin tuna, thereby reinforcing the measures aimed at this stock’s recovery. Recently, a level of bluefin tuna recovery has been recorded, but we need to go further, not just because the recovery level is not satisfactory, but also because the financial pressure on this fishery are very great, which encourages overfishing and even illegal practices. Sound management of bluefin tuna, which can only be ensured by suitable multiannual recovery plans, is crucial from an environmental perspective, as well as socially and economically, as it will guarantee the future continuation of this valuable resource, which is the driving force behind an important fisheries sector. That being the case, it is important to acknowledge that the ICCAT proposals currently being transposed into European legislation owing to statutory rules can be improved and have been improved by the EU itself, whose legislation in this regard is more ambitious than that of the ICCAT. However, I would stress that it is crucial to be aware, not just of the importance of preserving and protecting the bluefin tuna, but also of the need to guarantee an equitable situation for all operators in this sector and not simplistically adopt unilateral measures stepping up restrictions. It certainly is important that the European Union exercises genuine influence over the ICCAT on the promotion and implementation of sustainable and comprehensive conservation levels for all operators. As such, the agreement between Parliament, the Council and the Commission constitutes an important step in the right direction, encouraging other agreements in the debate on reforming the common fisheries policy."@en1
