lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, as we all know, most people are frightened of sharks. However, sharks have populated the world’s oceans for centuries, and I believe that we should not try to imagine a world without them. In my view, we have spoken for every person in Europe by voting by such a large majority to prohibit shark finning today. Shark fin soup is a particular delicacy, and shark finning was therefore a common practice in the past as well. After finning, the sharks are dumped back in the sea. This is not only barbaric; it is also a massive waste of resources. The fins are the most valuable part of the shark because they are the ingredients for soup, which is a lucrative business, but this practice cannot be allowed to continue. With this large majority, we have sent a very clear message today that this practice cannot continue. In fact, a ban has been in place in Europe since 2003, but there were a great many exemptions. We can remove these exemptions if we specify that the sharks must be landed with their fins naturally attached to the body. That is the only way to put a stop to this barbaric practice."@en1
