lpv:translated text	"I voted in favour of this document. A Regulation officially prohibits in the European Union the harmful practice of finning, which is removing sharks’ fins on board fishing vessels before throwing the sharks’ bodies back into the sea. The Regulation makes provision, however, for recourse to exemptions for which ‘special permits’ can be obtained. These exemptions have become the rule in two Member States, Spain and Portugal. Effective control of this complicated system whereby finning on board is permitted within the limits of the 5 % fin-to-carcass weight ratio has proved impossible. It is extremely difficult to check whether this requirement is being adhered to, especially when fins and carcasses are landed in different ports. I therefore support this proposal, which is based on the naturally attached fins method. This method is the only valid way of restricting finning and ensuring that Members States are able to comply with the regulation in a simple, effective and inexpensive manner."@en1
