lpv:translated text	"− This barbaric practice of removing the fins of sharks on board vessels and throwing their carcasses back into the water continues on a large scale across the globe and led to the dramatic decrease of the shark population. The 2003 EU Regulation allows certain Member States to issue special fishing permits authorising processing aboard vessels which means that shark fins can be removed within the finning quotas. However, in many cases, fins and carcasses were landed in different ports. Therefore, I believe it is important that the competent authorities of the European Union increase inspections to ensure the strict application of the regulation and impose sanctions on operators that break it. In addition, I recommend that the regulation apply not only to Member States fishing vessels but also to all vessels in European Union waters."@en1
