"Mr President, the practice of ‘finning’ is unacceptable from an environmental point of view because it threatens the sustainability of some shark species targeted by this practice, from the social and economic point of view because it involves squandering a source of food with commercial value, and also from the moral point of view because it shows a total disrespect for animal life. Although finning has since 2003 been banned in European waters and by the European fleet, the Commission has decided to present a proposal to end the derogation from the ban on removing shark fins on board EU fishing vessels. This proposal increases the protection necessary for sharks and will allow the EU to make an active contribution to global efforts to eradicating the cruel practice of finning in other parts of world, too."@en1
