lpv:translated text	"While Europeans do not traditionally cook shark, Asians are particularly fond of eating their fins, which can sell at prices in excess of EUR 70 a kilo. The fishing of sharks, which are necessary in the sea to preserve the balance of the marine ecosystem, has been regulated, one of the main goals being the conservation of the species. However, the current rules are too easily circumvented by fishermen and shark stocks are shrinking: according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), more than 25 % of all pelagic shark species, of which over 50 % are large oceanic-pelagic sharks, are threatened. It is therefore urgent to take action to conserve this species by ensuring better compliance with the rules in force, which would also allow the European Union to meet the international commitments it has made on shark protection. This regulation, which I support, is a step in that direction."@en1
