"Today in Parliament, we voted on a motion for a resolution on an issue that has been very sensitive over recent years: maritime piracy. The European Parliament, having regard to UN Security Council Resolution 1 816 of 2 June 1968 and the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea of 10 December 1982, wishes to express its disappointment with the Member States, which reduced the number of vessels supplied for the EU NAVFOR Atalanta operation from eight to only two or three at the beginning of 2012, and therefore calls on the Member States to ‘provide more naval assets to enable the Atalanta operation to succeed’. The House has also formally called on the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs, Baroness Ashton, as well as the Member States, to urgently find a way to liberate the 191 seafarers still being held hostage and to secure the release of the seven hijacked vessels. I hope that this vote sends a strong, powerful message, enabling the Member States and competent EU bodies to find better solutions to a problem which, especially in recent years, has been afflicting boats and people from all over the world."@en1
