I voted for the report on the EU’s role in combating illegal fishing at global level because the Commission and Member States must cooperate with a view to setting up a European coastguard service in order to boost the monitoring and inspection capacity and effectively combat dangers at sea such as terrorism, piracy, illegal fishing, trafficking or even marine pollution. I voted for the amendment which urges the Commission to continue its efforts to promote the exchange of information in order to integrate maritime surveillance and, in particular, information aimed at harmonising coastguard services at European level. Maintaining and developing the European fisheries sector depend, to a certain extent, on strict monitoring of illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) activities involving fishery products traded on European and global markets. We should stress the importance of this sector for regional planning, food safety and preserving jobs and resources in EU waters. Past limitations with regard to monitoring, control and surveillance of fishing activities have been largely overcome by technological advances, including developments in space and satellite communication technologies. Indeed, the solution for combating IUU fishing lies primarily with governments finding the political will to act effectively and responsibly."@en1
