"We fought long and hard in the past to have the bluefin tuna included in Appendix I to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) and to prevent its fishing and marketing. The recommendations of the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) confirmed that we were on the right path and that it would only be possible to combat the depletion of bluefin tuna stocks and at the same time protect our fishermen, who are already hard pressed by the difficult crisis situation, through more responsible management of resources.
Managing resources means fighting illegal fishing, setting up a tough quota control system, proposing innovative measures to manage stocks and monitoring trade flows. For this reason, I voted in favour of these new rules, which guarantee reliable traceability of each stage of the supply chain by imposing the supply of full documentation from catch to sale. If we practice prevention, we will be able to safeguard the bluefin tuna without penalising, and I stress this, honest fishermen who, in their own interests, are the first to wish to prevent the extinction of this fish species."@en1
