"On Thursday, 10 May, I voted in favour of the resolution on maritime piracy. While the subject is no longer in the news, it has not gone away. Quite to the contrary, in 2011, the Indian Ocean and, in particular, the coasts of Somalia, have fallen prey to a resurgence in acts of piracy. Although Parliament has prioritised the fight against piracy, since 2008, piracy has remained a lucrative trade, generating USD 12 billion per year. Piracy trade is fuelled by ransom money and the misappropriation of international aid and we must put an end to it as soon as possible. It also represents a threat to regional stability and maritime transport. This resolution reaffirms our determination to improve maritime safety and the coordination of military resources in this region which is victim to institutional failure. We have therefore decided to extend the mandate of the Atalanta programme for two years. Furthermore, it would be counter-productive to neglect the social dimension of our action in this region known as the ‘Horn of hunger’, given that this criminal behaviour is, in part, a symptom of poverty and violence."@en1
