"I would like to begin by thanking the rapporteur for the work he has done on this report, which is extremely impartial and detailed, without being verbose. I would also like to urge fellow Members to give their backing to this report and support the Commission’s provision for the BCD to be validated by the time the relevant operation is completed – transhipping, landing, caging, harvesting – thereby resulting not only in a rapid validation process, but in the exercising of tighter control over these operations.
Unfortunately, I cannot say that, once the amendments have been made to the BCD regulations, this will put an end to our troubles. In 1992 ICCAT adopted the recommendation on monitoring the trade in bluefin tuna, which turned out, unfortunately, to be a less than effective instrument. In 2007 ICCAT adopted the BCD, a more comprehensive programme which, although it marks a step forward, is not a genuine solution at a time when ICCAT has again been overtaken by a situation, which is confirmed by actual circumstances on the ground.
This is why I believe that in future, the Commission’s support for including bluefin tuna in Appendix I, which was a missed opportunity at the CITES Conference in March 2010, ought to become official EU policy as the only and definitive solution for saving this marine species from extinction."@en1
