"Mr President, I would like further details on the consequences of the 40% reduction in world fishing quotas of tuna. On 15 November in Recife, the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) decided that all contracting parties must reduce their fishing capacity by at least 40%. This measure means that the world fishing quota of blue fin tuna will reduce from 22 000 tonnes currently to 13 500 tonnes in 2010. Indeed, the ICCAT Member States decided to target overcapacity of their fishing fleet in order to halve it by 2011. The fishing season for tuna seiners will also be reduced to one month, with no possibility of extension. These measures, which are necessary for preserving the species and which will be transposed into European Union legislation, will endanger the activity of European fishermen. I would like to know what action is envisaged to support the fishermen’s livelihood and to halt plans to reduce the fleet. What measures have been taken to reduce the very significant socio-economic consequences of transposing these ICCAT decisions into EU legislation?"@en1
