"Madam President, piracy is a very important issue for Spain since it is affecting our fishing vessels, and I welcome the release of the vessel
and commend its fishermen, its owner and the Spanish Government for their efforts.
Fishing boats are a target for pirates and, it seems, provide irresistible opportunities for hostage taking. Pirates have modernised their tactics, as the Council has said, at sea and on land. They are profitable and Member States must respond to the situation.
Operation EU NAVFOR Somalia (Operation Atalanta) was a success, and the Commissioner mentioned that a large number of activities had been undertaken, but we need more and better such operations. Fishing boats must no longer be vulnerable; we need fishing boats to be protected and we need the area in which they are offered protection to be extended.
Above all, we need a solution on land, because it is on land that the problem is created: as the Commission has pointed out, we need democratic stability. We are asking the Commission if it would be prepared to organise a summit on piracy in the area, in an attempt to find solutions on land to what is happening at sea."@en1
