"Mr President, if regulations alone could save bluefin tuna then these should do the job but, as the rapporteur has pointed out, the operators will go to extraordinary lengths to cheat, and I fear that these may not curb them. Has the Commissioner received assurances from Member States that they are taking tough measures to prevent black landings and to prevent the falsification of documents?
Can the Commissioner tell us what penalties have been laid down by the Member States in law and whether the courts are actually applying them? Past experience suggests that sometimes these matters go to national courts and they dismiss them as hardly relevant.
Finally, Japan has undermined our efforts in CITES, but can the Commissioner tell us whether she has received any undertakings from Japan, the major importer of bluefin tuna, that they will help us protect the species? I fear not, but I would be delighted if she could prove me wrong."@en1
