lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, the removal of shark fins on board vessels is a needlessly barbaric and wasteful practice. I support the animal welfare campaigns and the EU regulation now proposed to end the excision of fins from sharks to make shark fin soup and then throwing the animals’ carcasses back into the sea for a slow and painful death. In Britain we have already made it illegal to practise shark finning on British registered vessels, and it is surely time now for the EU to meet the standards set by many other countries worldwide. There must therefore be no further loopholes and no derogation specifically aimed at Spanish and Portuguese fishermen on this issue. Furthermore, we should also look more closely at the notion of overfishing of certain species of sharks, which threatens to bring about the extinction of these species, which have been alive and well and thriving in our oceans for over a million years. It would be tragic to see an extinction of the shark generally."@en1
