lpv:translated text	"Madam President, we should welcome the recent Council decisions on a global approach to piracy relating, firstly, to the appointment of a special representative for the Horn of Africa, which will support diplomatic action by the Union in the area, and secondly, to the new operational mission to extend action by the Atalanta mission and, thirdly, to the preparation of a new mission, within the framework of European defence and security policy, to support the development of capacities at local level. However, it is important that we consider where we have gone wrong over recent years. On the operational side, we really must overcome the obstacles to the activation of the operational centre in Brussels, because that is the only way to guarantee central planning and better coordination between the various EU missions and activities. Also, we need to review the Athena mechanism to secure funding and increase the contribution to those missions. Finally, we need to resolve serious problems to do with timely information for forces on the ground. At the same time, however, we need to examine the possible dangers inherent in operations on the Somali coast and focus more on the need to deal with the causes of piracy. As far as the causes are concerned, we all know that instability and poverty in Somalia have pushed simple citizens into this illegal activity. The solution cannot, under any circumstances, be a purely military solution. Alongside military action, we need to strengthen institutions and the rule of law and, most importantly, we need to step up efforts to combat the root causes of piracy, with emphasis on information and awareness-raising and, of course, on growth and job opportunities."@en1
