lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I wish to thank Mr Freitas for his constructive work on a report that the Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance will support. Industrial tuna fishing threatens not only tuna fish stocks but also other species, of which the best known is the dolphin. The Agreement on the International Dolphin Conservation Programme came about because a very great many of our people wanted to prevent dolphins from dying as a result of bad fishing methods. Now that we are making sure that the agreement is implemented in our legislation, it is important for these objectives to be attained. As my fellow MEPs have described, the work has so far been quite successful. Amendments 9 and 11 – tabled by the Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance in the committee, where they were supported – are important for ensuring that consumers are not taken in by labelling. A reference to Article 3 of the Regulation of 2003 is important for also informing everyone who fulfils the conditions about the correct labelling requirements and ensuring that no one can fecklessly take advantage of these. This is something to which Mr Stevenson referred. We cannot forgo mentioning that, for this is Parliament’s opportunity to express its will to you as you continue to negotiate. We must also evaluate the dolphin-safe methods, which can be improved so that they do not harm other species. Log sets kill sea turtles and many other species. I know that the AIDCP has embarked upon work to improve these methods. It is important for us constantly to monitor developments and use the best possible methods."@en1
