"Madam President, unfortunately, I, once again, have to request the floor to inform you and the House of another tragedy at sea. Last week, the fishing vessel
flying a German flag and with a Spanish and Portuguese crew, sank in the North Atlantic, off the coast of Scotland. Six of the 16 crew lost their lives. European fishermen have, once again, paid their tribute to the sea.
Madam President, I would like you and the rest of the House to be aware that the Committee on Fisheries approved a report on this issue last week which, I hope, will be presented to Parliament during the next part-session. This is our contribution to this cruel profession, which is increasingly beset by greater insecurity.
Madam President, I would like to ask you, on behalf of the Committee on Fisheries, to contact the families of the victims in order to express this Parliament’s condolences and solidarity, and I would like to point out that they all come from Galicia. I would also like you, Madam President, if you can, to contact the British sea rescue services, whose members, risking their own lives, saved many others."@en1
