"Mr President, Ms Lövin’s report places valuable emphasis on the fundamental issue of making a united effort to combat illegal fishing.
The aims of a common policy on sustainable fishing, protection of the marine environment and promotion of fishing without unfair competition will not be accomplished if we do not take a committed stand in the fight against such illegal fishing.
The oceans know no boundaries, so efforts must be made at both European and international level. The European Union needs to have credible policies here and should impose penalties on practices like those recently publicised where Community-flagged vessels operate illegally in waters protected by conservation measures.
The problem of illegal fishing does not only concern third-country vessels but also EU-flagged operators. Furthermore, we cannot make progress in the absence of powerful financial instruments which will make access to public money conditional on carrying out effective monitoring procedures and complying with all fishing regulations."@en1
