"Mr President, I welcome Mr Romeva i Rueda’s report concerning better ways of determining the origin of bluefin tuna and of preventing illegal fishing. I would like to remind you what it costs to monitor the Mediterranean Sea just for the bluefin tuna operation. This year it is EUR 5 million. There are 24 purse seine operators fishing for bluefin tuna. Ninety per cent of the catch is exported to Japan. The record this year for a single fish at Tokyo’s fish auction was over EUR 100 000. I would like to ask the Commissioner this question. In view of the fact that the three EU institutions have agreed to support the listing of bluefin tuna in Appendix I, that is to say that the 27 Member States agree that this wild fish should be protected, and given that we are also in the midst of an economic crisis, where every public euro should be used in a responsible way, should the EU not stop the fishing and exporting of this general resource as soon as possible until stocks have recovered?"@en1
