"Illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing is very harmful to the entire system. Various studies have shown alarming figures, with no less than 15% of catches worldwide coming from illegal fishing. This figure easily demonstrates how the situation has become unsustainable, also from an economic point of view. Legal fishing also helps compliance with and maintenance of maritime environmental sustainability criteria. It is not hard to understand that it is difficult to pin down illegal fishing within the maritime borders of a single state, as it is often far more widespread, and therefore requires joint action and increasing levels of cooperation. Furthermore, I believe that setting up a ‘European coastguard’, as suggested in the report, could make it possible to boost common monitoring and inspection capacity and to effectively combat current or future dangers at sea such as illegal fishing, as well as terrorism, piracy, trafficking or marine pollution. This report touches on all of these and many other important issues, which is why I voted in favour."@en1
