"In 2009, in Auckland, New Zealand, the Convention on the Conservation and Management of High Seas Fishery Resources in the South Pacific Ocean was adopted and opened for signature for a period of 12 months, from 1 February 2010. The European Union signed it on 26 July 2010. The aim is to ensure the long-term conservation and sustainable exploitation of fishery resources in the South Pacific. Yet it is regrettable to see the extent to which the majority of countries are still unwilling to accept management measures in line with international law in their waters. It is totally demoralising to find this reluctance exemplified by countries that are supposedly – or so they would have you believe – champions of good fishing practice, such as Australia, New Zealand and Chile, the driving forces behind this new convention. I support our rapporteur when she says that the Union should have a presence within all regional conventions, both to defend its priorities in terms of sustainable fisheries management and to defend the interests of its fishing fleet. Consequently, I voted in favour of this report."@en1
