"The problem of maritime piracy has been growing constantly since 2008 – attacks are increasing each year, the arms used by pirates are becoming technologically more advanced, attacks are becoming more coordinated and ransom demands are growing in size. It should be noted that without the efforts of the international community and the EU Atalanta operation, this problem would probably be even more widespread and out of control. Instances where ships transporting military technology fall into the pirates’ hands are particularly worrying. Piracy impedes international trade, poses a threat to the transportation of strategic and environmentally dangerous cargos, increases costs (the cost of insuring ships alone has increased tenfold), may cause an environmental disaster (oil spills from ships, for example), exacerbates the destabilisation of countries and regions, halts development and, above all, regularly costs innocent lives. There can be no justification for piracy. This activity is an international crime and could be compared to terrorist activity. I voted in favour of this resolution because I believe the fight against maritime piracy must continue to be strengthened."@en1
