"Mr President, I was pleased to vote for this report and especially for the actions in it. Without any doubt, we must do everything to put an end to illegal fishing in order to preserve fish stocks in the oceans and, especially, to be fair to good, honest fishermen.
Illegal, unreported and unregulated fisheries, IUU as they are called, at a conservative estimate make up 15% of the marine catches.
Throw in the practice of discards which has been going on for far too long and the rape of the sea has been going on unabated.
Thankfully, the forthcoming CFP is hoping to deal with the question of discards and today’s proposals may help to at least combat illegal fishing.
The illegal operators will have to be named and shamed and put out of business, and non-compliant states equally so."@en1
