"I was unable to vote in favour of this report, even though it sets out important measures for the conservation of shark populations, as it will mean losses for the fishing sector. It is very important to conserve species such as the shark by means of sustainable fishing practices that restrict fishing activity so as to avoid causing environmental damage. However, the fishing sector has been in serious crisis for many years now, as a result of which the small-scale fishing community is in danger of disappearing in a number of Member States. The requirements this proposal for a regulation imposes will create even more losses in this sector, increasing the risk that this industry will vanish altogether, as only large vessels will be able to afford to carry the whole animal, while small vessels will be unable to meet this requirement. Although the report sets out a series of good practices for ensuring the survival of various shark species, I did not vote in favour of it because of its impact on small-scale fishermen and, consequently, on communities dependent on the fishing industry."@en1
