"I voted in favour of this report because it is a step forward in defining the documentation that must accompany catches of bluefin tuna. I believe that these control measures make illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing difficult, therefore they are going in the right direction.
Bluefin tuna is a symbol of what is happening in the EU: of what happens when the market is not regulated. What happens is that it rides roughshod over jobs, the environment and species such as bluefin tuna. The market is insatiable and it exhausts the resources. The exhaustion of fishing resources is an environmental problem, but also a social one. The innocent cannot pay for the sins of the guilty. Traps, which are an age-old fishing technique that has never endangered the survival of bluefin tuna, cannot be punished.
The European Union must take seriously the technical reports on bluefin tuna that come out of the next meeting of the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas. We must work to ensure that the EU makes work compatible with the environment, biodiversity and sustainability."@en1
