lpv:translated text	". The protection of the deep-water coral reefs in the Atlantic Ocean is, naturally, of special interest to Portugal. The proposal is to ban the use of bottom trawling in the waters of the Azores and Madeira, as well as in the Canary Islands, in order to protect deep-water coral reefs, which are of enormous importance in terms of protecting biodiversity. It is estimated that 65% of fish species in the sea are dependent on reefs at some point in their life. In light of this need for effective protection, we are in favour of extending the ban to bottom gillnets, which also cause serious damage to those ecosystems due to ghost fishing. Whilst I am not satisfied with the final result of the vote on the amendments, I wholeheartedly welcome what this report has achieved, and therefore voted in favour."@en1
