"We four Danish Social Democrats in the European Parliament have chosen to vote against the Fisheries Partnership Agreement between the European Union and the Solomon Islands. Our decision is based on a genuine fear that tuna will be exploited and overfished. Two species in particular – the yellowfin and bigeye tuna – are endangered, and therefore fishing of these species should, as far as possible, be discontinued. This fisheries agreement threatens tuna stocks, as it gives the green light to all catching of fish as long as European fishermen provide financial compensation for each tonne of tuna caught. This will very likely result in uncontrollable overfishing and, in the worst case scenario, it may threaten the survival of tuna in the region."@en1
