"Illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing is a serious and growing problem all over the world. It undermines efforts to conserve and manage fish stocks in all capture fisheries, and it leads to the loss of both short- and medium-term economic and social opportunities and to negative effects on food security and environmental protection. The European Union has a special responsibility when it comes to combating IUU fishing, since it constitutes the world's largest market for fish, and it is one of the major fishing powers. Thus, its aim should be to prevent, deter and eliminate illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing. This report presents the following recommendations for achieving that goal: improve the investigative capacity into organised criminal activities at sea; improve transparency and traceability of fish to expose criminal activities and reduce their profits; monitor or, preferably prohibit, the sale of used fishing vessels to companies with untraceable beneficial owners; and improve monitoring of fishing vessel activities and their interactions with merchant vessels. For these reasons, I supported this report."@en1
