"Madam President, I should like to congratulate the rapporteur on an excellent report.
Many marine ecosystems in the high seas are unique and vulnerable and – most definitely and appropriately – need protection from the sometimes devastatingly catastrophic effects of bottom fishing gears.
The proposed regulation is undoubtedly a good step in the right direction, but much more may need to be done in the future as more knowledge and experience is gathered on deep-sea marine biology. The application of the precautionary principle, as a basis for formulating some of the parameters of this regulation, is judged to be both necessary and wise. As always, the success of any regulation depends to a large extent on the degree of its proper implementation, and on-board observers will help in this respect.
It is very much hoped that, despite some inevitable inherent weaknesses in this respect, this regulation will turn out to be a success both in theory and in practice."@en1
