"Maritime piracy, particularly off the coast of Somalia, poses a threat to European Union ships and crews. Last year, in the Indian Ocean off the Horn of Africa, 300 pirate attacks were carried out, 25 ships were hijacked and 11 people were killed. This year, there have already been 35 cases. We condemn the aggression of the pirates, which endangers the lives of seamen and causes their families pain, and leads the European Union and its businesses to incur losses. I voted in favour of this resolution because I agree that the phenomenon of piracy will only be stopped by wide-ranging measures – processes for comprehensive restructuring in Somalia. Only by ensuring the enforcement of the rule of law, sound administrative management and improved welfare in this country will we root out piracy – both at sea and within the country itself. Today, the EU is the largest donor of aid to Somalia – EUR 415 million is allocated in development aid. In addition, tens of millions are also allocated to humanitarian aid alone. All this money is for creating jobs and developing infrastructure, particularly in rural areas. The EU also supports the creation of security forces. The EU should also continue the Atalanta mission because in this case, the partner countries – Russia, China and India – would rather cooperate with the EU than NATO."@en1
