"Maritime transport has been one of the key stepping stones to economic growth and prosperity in Europe throughout its history. More than 80% of world trade is carried by sea. Piracy, however, threatens international security and regional stability, and the fight against piracy and its main causes is therefore a priority for the EU. Piracy on the high seas has still not been solved. It is becoming an increasing threat both to human life and to the safety of seafarers and other persons, as well as to regional development and stability, the marine environment, world trade, all forms of maritime transport and shipping, including fishing vessels, and also to the delivery of humanitarian aid. Pirates are constantly adapting their tactics and methods, and have expanded their operational radius through the use of larger hijacked ships. In my opinion, it would be justified to make an attempt at a more formal coordination of a comprehensive strategy against piracy among the various interested parties in the EU. Alternatively, it might be appropriate to set up an official operational group under the aegis of the European External Action Service, for example, which would bring together all participating bodies. The EU could promote this concept of an action group within the UN Security Council, with a view to creating a global action group that would work in close cooperation with the International Maritime Organisation."@en1
