"I have voted in favour of this agreement as it will serve to spread sustainable fishing methods throughout the world. It also ensures comprehensive control over the amount of fish fished and fishing techniques as well as the condition of fish that are taken from the sea and their traceability for food safety and commercial purposes. Furthermore, the Seychelles are going to receive EUR 16.8 million that will promote and modernise the archipelago’s fishing industry and foster local development. Finally, this agreement is going to allow 60 European tuna vessels that fish in the area, namely 48 seiners and 12 long-liners, to fish up to 56 000 tonnes annually. This agreement should also allow us to leave behind the demagoguery that is heard in this House about European vessels fishing in third countries. Our vessels in the Seychelles practise a regulated activity which is strongly controlled and completely respectful of the environment. They do not exhaust resources and they support local development. It is agreements of this kind that guarantee these principles. Finally, the pirate threat over the past year has caused a 25% reduction in fish catches in this fishing ground and the necessary measures must continue to be strengthened in order that vessels are able to fish in suitable conditions."@en1
