"Mr President, piracy has now become one of the worldwide threats to maritime safety.
According to statistics compiled by the International Maritime Bureau, pirate attacks have tripled over the last decade: whereas there were 90 incidents of piracy in 1995, in 2007 the figure had risen to 263.
As we speak, 26 crew members of the fishing vessel
have been seized off Somalia and perhaps, as my fellow Member said earlier in this House, we should not only show solidarity with their families, but also request the European Union to take action in this matter and to make every effort to free these fishermen.
It is not enough for us to sign agreements with various African States. We also have to ensure the safety of these vessels.
The problem is European in scope and must be tackled as such."@en1
