"The report introduced by Ms Lövin illustrates the grievous nature of the problem related to illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing (IUU). To drive the message home, it is sufficient to compare the value of 6.4 million tonnes of fish caught by the countries within the European Union in the course of a year with what is – I would stress that – a lower estimate of the volume of illegal fishing, with an annual value of 11 million tonnes, which is nearly twice the total annual catch within the entire European Union. In my opinion, the EU countries should not just combat IUU fishing but also take some practical steps towards preventing it. Among other things, legislation should be harmonised to such a level as to enable effective operation of the executive bodies in combating IUU fishing.
Nearly half of the EU residents are linked, directly or indirectly, economically or socially, with fisheries in a broader sense, which is why improving the situation in this industry would be a substantial catalyst for economic growth. An important aspect of providing support to fisheries is cooperation with countries outside the EU. A strong position enjoyed by the EU in the sphere of fisheries notwithstanding, I believe that cooperating with such countries as Japan, China or the United States is of great importance for the efficient introduction of regulations. The IUU phenomenon has no frontiers and should be kept in check, and then eliminated in accordance with the subject of the above report, that is, through international cooperation at the global level."@en1
