lpv:translated text	"I voted in favour of this report because an amendment has been made that will bring an outright ban on the removal of fins of sharks on board vessels, in other words prior to landing. This condition is necessary in order to prevent so-called ‘finning’, or the removal of the fins of sharks when they are captured, with the animal often thrown back into the sea still living, mutilated and certain to die. It is obvious that this is a barbaric practice that does not respect animal life, nature, or the environment and that it must be prevented. I would also like to draw attention to a worrying episode associated with this report, which Ms Angelilli rightly underlined: small shark toys were handed out to the Members to raise awareness on the issue of finning that were made in China did not bear the mandatory EU mark. I believe it is worth reflecting on this episode because all too often rules are introduced to protect and guarantee and are then ignored even inside the European Parliament itself."@en1
