lpv:translated text	". The proposal for a regulation before us seeks to ban the use of bottom trawling in the most environmentally sensitive areas in the first 200 sea miles around the Azores, Madeira and the Canary Islands. I broadly support the proposed measures and feel that it is vitally important that the specific characteristics of each area are properly taken into account. Accordingly I also supported the amendment proposals aimed at also banning bottom gillnets, and deeply regret that this measure was not incorporated into the final version drawn up by the committee concerned, contrary to the rapporteur’s recommendation. Along with various Members of this House, I have campaigned for it to be reinstated and adopted in plenary. It is well known that this kind of net is extremely harmful to ecosystems, particularly given the overwhelming probability of ghost fishing. In the particular case of the Azores, the risk is all the greater given the volcanic nature of the seabed. It therefore made no sense only to go halfway towards protection."@en1
