"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I too essentially want to express my support for Mr Ribeiro’s report and the proposals it contains.
Ensuring the sustainability of marine biological resources is also the best way to protect the most threatened of all species in certain parts of the Union: the human species itself. Many of the fishing communities in some coastal areas of the Union, such as the Azores or Madeira, do not have any other alternatives at all for their livelihoods or their survival. In this case, it is the Commission itself that acknowledges that we are dealing with very sensitive ecosystems that are highly endangered and require urgent protection, particularly since there is a considerable lack of information about them.
The simple acknowledgment of such facts is more than enough reason to adopt any preventive measures that might stop the destruction of those habitats. The proposals put forward by the rapporteur are a step in that direction. They will therefore gain my vote and I appeal to this House to vote for them as well."@en1
