"This joint motion for a resolution, tabled pursuant to Rule 110(2) and (4) of the Rules of Procedure, replaces the motions for resolutions by the Group of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe, the European Conservatives and Reformists Group, the Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament and the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) concerning maritime piracy. More goods are transported by sea than by any other means on the planet. In recent years, however, we have witnessed a phenomenon that recalls the Age of Discoveries in the 16th and 17th centuries: piracy. For centuries, piracy was one of the main risks of travelling by sea, and it still represents danger and uncertainty for many of the vessels that ply the oceans. We are all aware of the recent piracy phenomena across Somalia. The European Union has been taking measures and participating in actions intended to prevent this phenomenon that we could term maritime terrorism. I voted for this report since, as well as recommending that the Member States protect their fleets, it seeks to attack the problem at its source; that is, in the pirates’ home ports. Since these regions constitute very poor communities with high immigration levels, it promotes their economic development."@en1
