".
The purpose of this report is to protect fisheries and the European Union tuna processing industry against competition from elsewhere. This concern is even more disputable given that the Community tuna fleet is already the largest in the world and is using the whole world’s fish resources, including those of many poor countries.
Moreover, the competition often comes from fleets which, even though they operate under the flags of other countries, belong to investors from the European Community.
The report is right to express concern about the reduction in tuna resources. Competition, which causes waste and crises in all sectors of the economy, has even more disastrous consequences in the case of natural resources, which can be completely exhausted by fierce and irrational competition.
The only logical conclusion that can be drawn from this report is that a system based on competition is damaging and that the only sound way of managing natural resources would be to manage them collectively, in a planned manner. This management should be done at global level and not with the sole aim of protecting European Union production, as tuna have the annoying habit of not respecting borders and territorial waters.
