"I voted for this report because we need not only rapid, concrete measures, but also a comprehensive multiannual strategy to ensure the recovery of the bluefin stocks in the eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean. This species is currently under threat both from overfishing and due to the fishing methods and practices being used. In this situation, the existing regulations need to be supplemented by detailed provisions aimed at resolving the legislative loopholes concerning specific aspects such as caging the fish. The European Union has an important role in this process. However, the measures adopted solely at European level will only have a limited impact unless they are followed by other similar measures globally. This is why I encourage European states to support tighter regulations within the ICCAT.
I also think that the EU must be involved in promoting sensible, sustainable management of bluefin tuna stocks by advocating these principles to other major players in this sector, particularly Japan. I should also point out the importance of monitoring activities to ensure compliance with existing legislation and combat illegal fishing."@en1
