"Mr President, I was shadow rapporteur for the Group of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe and I voted in favour of the resolution on piracy in the Indian Ocean because it puts forward fair, viable and sustainable solutions to tackle this problem.
Firstly, it maintains the protection of all vessels, including fishing vessels, in this area. Furthermore, it denounces the harmful effects that piracy also has on the local population and supports interventions on the ground to resolve the kidnapping problem at source, neutralising the logistical bases of the kidnappers and preventing it from becoming a simple and viable trade. This is, moreover, a complementary measure to the measures maintained with regard to humanitarian aid and political and social stabilisation in the area by the European Union.
Lastly, I am calling the Member States’ attention to this because the resolution calls on them to ensure that the measures on the protection of fleets comply with the recommendations of the International Maritime Organisation (IMO). In terms of value for money, professional military escorts are more efficient than private companies, due to their experience, legal status and integration with the Atalanta operation."@en1
