". – Regarding the Attwooll report on shark finning () I voted against Amendment No 13 which allows for shark fins and body parts to be landed separately. The procedure renders futile attempts to monitor the numbers of sharks being caught.
That the Commission and the Council will determine the final shape of the regulation should be a consolation. But sadly this is not the case.
The proposed regulation originated with a petition presented to Environment Commissioner Wallström by the Shark Trust, and with a question I tabled in the Environment Committee. I feel sure that Commissioner Wallström will feel let down by DG Fisheries. That an official from this DG's Conservation Unit can dismiss the concerns with the words ‘I must trust much more the opinion of our fishing industry if it is for them to obtain good returns from their landings’ suggests to me that he has a strange idea of conservation. Perhaps Commissioner Fischler should put him in charge of inspecting abattoirs.
European citizens seeking to protect fish species from extinction can have no confidence in a Commission DG which seems to have sold its soul to serve the interests of the Spanish fishing industry."@en1
