lpv:translated text	"Mr President, it must be made very clear that it is impossible to limit the effects of sonar on a geographical basis. I do not know what the PPE-DE Group wants to do: perhaps they should give out ear protectors to the dolphins and whales. A number of ziphii have died this summer in the Canary Islands, clearly due to the effects of sonar. The Verts/ALE Group has been condemning this for a long time. The Spanish Government and the Ministry of Defence have acknowledged the problem and the Canary Islands Government recently accepted that this type of harm is related to the use of medium-frequency active sonars. Last April, the Government and the Ministry of Defence signed a cooperation agreement to prevent the mass beaching of ziphii which is taking place in the Canary Islands area. This agreement is very significant, since it shows concern and demonstrates that ziphii are affected by sonar. What we find completely unacceptable is the amendment presented by the Group of the European Peoples’ Party (Christian Democrats) and European Democrats with a view to restricting the use of high-intensity naval radar/sonar only in areas defined as sensitive marine habitats, something which is absolutely impossible. We call on the House to reject this amendment."@en1
