lpv:spoken text	"I voted no to this report and in doing so, was mindful of a good news story in respect of our marine environment. The rapporteur mentions the ‘plastic soup’, the drifting mass of plastic and rubber in the Pacific Ocean, and notes what is described as an increasing problem in the Atlantic Ocean of lost fishing nets. In this respect, it is worth mentioning the work of KIMO International and their ‘Fishing for Litter’ Project. Originally started in March 2000 by the Dutch Government and Dutch fishermen, the project was aimed at clearing the North Sea of litter, using fishing nets. KIMO International has since expanded this project to harbours in the UK, Sweden and Denmark, with EU financial assistance. Since 2001, EU fishermen have removed hundreds of tonnes of rubbish from our seas and returned it to land where it is collected and disposed of responsibly. All of the EU fishermen involved in this project need to be applauded for their dedication, which removes waste permanently from the sea, benefiting the fishing industry, wildlife and the environment."@en1
