"Mr President, Commissioner, if I were to ask you which is the odd word out in the following sequence – piracy, poaching, unsafe and fishing – you would no doubt answer that fishing is the word that does not belong. Quite right: evading management measures, plundering the riches of the sea and the maltreatment of crew members have no place in fishing. Unfortunately, this type of fishing does exist in the shape of fishing vessels sailing under flags of convenience. I agree completely with the rapporteur, Mrs McKenna and would like to add the following comment. We must involve the countries that issue those flags of convenience in an effort to put an end to these practices. Should these countries comply only by striking ships off their registers without tightening controls, we must consider economic sanctions against them. The fishing agreements that the European Union enters into with third countries could also play a part. We should exclude countries that allow fishing vessels under flags of convenience and their accompanying transport and refrigeration vessels into their harbours from fishing agreements with the European Union."@en1
