lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, as the rapporteur rightly says, fishing is a global activity, so illegal fishing necessarily is too. Illegal, undeclared and unregulated fishing has a significant negative impact on part of humankind’s common heritage: the oceans and their immense, but finite, resources. It is estimated that it accounts for at least 15% of total catches, although it could very well account for much more. The conservation of this heritage can only be a common task and responsibility of humankind. The combating of illegal fishing must therefore be considered a priority in the context of international cooperation within the framework of multilateral organisations like the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) of the United Nations (UN). As such, the FAO Agreement on Port State Measures to Prevent, Deter and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing, the UN Fish Stocks Agreement, the FAO Agreement to Promote Compliance with International Conservation and Management Measures by Fishing Vessels on the High Seas, and the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, are of particular importance. It is also important to step up the role of regional fisheries management organisations in international cooperation. We should like to acknowledge and show our appreciation for the rapporteur’s efforts to encourage a broad debate, which includes various interim reports, and to draft a comprehensive and thorough report. We should also like to acknowledge her willingness to take on board all relevant suggestions. Despite some naturally conflicting views, the consensus that has been reached will reflect not just the nature of the topic but also the working method followed. Regrettably, the amendments tabled by the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats), concerning the creation of a European coastguard, are threatening this consensus. These amendments clearly distort the scope of the report and the debate held whilst it was being prepared. Unlike most of the others in the report, these amendments – some of which are innovative – are far from consensual. We therefore call for these amendments to be rejected: otherwise, in our opinion, the report will be substantially weakened."@en1
