"I welcome the adoption of this resolution, which reminds us that we need to fight against sea pirates primarily for the obvious reason of protecting human life. We cannot in good conscience deliver our ship owners and sailors to their fate. They work on a daily basis to develop trade and global growth. Nor can we abandon local populations, who make a living from fishing and can no longer go out to sea. Clearly, as far as both local communities and the international community are concerned, it is imperative for us to mobilise all our legal and military resources to combat pirates, who are using increasingly heavy weapons and who stop boats increasingly far from the coast. This, in any case, is the wish that Parliament has clearly expressed and which I emphasised when drawing up this text. I now hope that Baroness Ashton will urge the States to increase military resources for Atalanta and to apply the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea fully, in order to put an end to the unacceptable impunity of pirates."@en1
