"I voted in favour of the CITES Convention report. Animal and plant species are becoming extinct at a rate of one thousand times faster than the natural rate. Human activities are adding to this rate of extinction and are endangering biodiversity. CITES is a central tool in the international effort to combat the primary threats to biodiversity, to combat illegal trade, and to put in place a proper Regulation concerning the wildlife trade.
I support those who want international law enforcement bodies to have a greater involvement in stopping wildlife crime and to address the dangers which could result from electronic commerce. As such, I also support the recommendation that the environmental crime unit be strengthened.
I would like to draw attention to the effect CITES measures will have on the occupations of poor rural communities and those who are depending on trade in certain species to make a living. We must continue to help these countries to apply the CITES list so that we can work with those who are dependent on the wildlife in their areas."@en1
