lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I too wish to take my turn in congratulating Mr Freitas on his exceptional report on dolphin conservation. May I also take this opportunity to congratulate Mrs Fraga on her report on the Mediterranean. These are thorough reports which respond to the current situation, in order to ensure that we shall have seas with fish in them both now and in the future. May I also take this opportunity, while we are debating dolphins, to mention an incident which took place in my country. What happened is that, after a storm at sea at the end of May, a kilometre-long net was found abandoned in the northern Aegean, which had been tossed around by the storm for 10 days and which, when it was noticed, had already caught dozens of dolphins and dozens of rare cetaceans which are threatened with extinction. This was an ecological disaster which came to light and was discovered, because there are others which we know nothing about. I should like to point out that the area of the northern Aegean is a rare and important marine habitat, because the River Evros flows into it, the waters come from the Dardanelles and, within the framework of protection for all seas, we must also pay particular attention to the Aegean. This unfortunate incident proves yet again that the environment has no borders. Broken nets spread death and this should worry us. I should like to say that it is our duty to protect the environment and the report by our honourable friend moves in that direction, which is why we should all vote for it. Finally, I should like to express to everyone a view which should prevail among us. It is our duty to protect the marine environment. Our children have a right to be able to fish in it also. We have an obligation to leave fish in our seas for future generations."@en1
