lpv:spoken text	"I wholeheartedly support changes to the current legislation to make sure shark finning on vessels is banned and that no exemptions for EU Member States can be granted. The legislation from 2003 was not strict enough and allowed fishermen to remove sharks’ fins whilst on vessels and then throw them back in the water to die. New legislation will mean that all sharks will have to be landed with their fins naturally attached, rather than carcasses being discarded into the sea. I welcome the move to make sure that, where local authorities are unable to carry out controls in ports, vessel owners will be responsible for hiring an independent body to do the job. This legislation bring the rest of Europe up to speed with measures already in force in the UK which put a stop to this wasteful, cruel practice."@en1
