lpv:translated text	"Despite efforts made and initiatives carried out by the IWC (International Whaling Commission), the situation with regard to numerous species of cetaceans is still worrying, as a large number are threatened with extinction. The whole issue of capturing whales for scientific purposes is still a ‘cover’ for the capture of these mammals, which is why the EU must intervene in terms of revising this international position. Supporting the maintenance of the moratorium, opposing all proposals regarding new types of whaling, accepting that all whaling operations by IWC members should be brought under IWC control and supporting proposals aimed at ending ‘scientific whaling’ outside IWC control are some of the premises of this report that I consider to be essential. Ensuring that the EU defines its political position on this subject and taking the lead in pursuing objectives relating to respect for biodiversity and the sustainable development of our planet are fundamental objectives which the EU must embrace. I therefore voted in favour of this report."@en1
