"The own-initiative report concerns a very important issue for the conservation of biodiversity and the health of marine fauna. All the statistics worldwide show us that illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing is a growing problem on a worldwide scale. In addition, IUU fishing is increasingly linked to other activities threatening peace and the stability of civil coexistence between people. An increasing number of ships conceal criminal and terrorist activities and drug smuggling, and criminal organisations use the vast tracts of the sea where IUU fishing takes place precisely because these areas are difficult to monitor by the national and regional public authorities. Therefore I approve wholeheartedly of this report, and others on the same topic, because the EU must contribute to the international community’s efforts to combat IUU fishing, and ask itself and the other Member States to do everything possible to eradicate this criminal activity, which encourages crime and puts the survival of the marine ecosystem at risk and, indirectly, threatens national security."@en1
