"Mr President, the suggestions of the rapporteur concerning a move away from the passive approach to taking active steps to take control of the situation instead of just following the development of events are justified and should meet with agreement. The question then arises as to how to prepare and how to react in a situation when bluefin tuna fishing is, in many ways, exceptional. It is obvious that we should provide protection for spawning grounds, impose a minimum size of tuna which can be caught and set up caging operations, not to mention the creation of reserves, but this is not enough. We need to think more globally by ensuring consistency with other legal obligations. We know what needs to be done, but often there is a lack of political will. The profits from these catches are so high that they encourage people to engage in harmful and, of course, illegal fishing. Measures have been provided for international management and supervision and we are moving in the right direction. Let us hope that this time, we will be successful."@en1
