"In essence, the report takes an approach we consider to be appropriate to the problem of illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing. Enhancing the role of multilateral organisations, such as the United Nations (UN) and the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), in combating a practice that is very damaging to marine ecosystems is, in our opinion, appropriate, as is enhancing the role of the regional fisheries management organisations. In addition to the environmental consequences, this is a practice that also has economic and social consequences that are extremely harmful, in some cases with extensions and links to organised crime. Without prejudice to aspects that require further clarification with regard to combating IUU fishing inside the EU, an area where we will certainly have some differences of opinion with the rapporteur, we welcome a number of proposals presented in the report, some of which are innovative (such as those relating to market states, amongst others). We must, however, highlight the profoundly negative amendments proposed by the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats), which have been approved, on the creation of a ‘European Coastguard’ with the job of monitoring, inspecting and combating what are deemed to be ‘future dangers at sea’, such as ‘terrorism’ and ‘piracy’
These regrettable changes clearly go beyond the scope of the report and undo the consensus which essentially had been achieved during the work in committee."@en1
