"In 2010, Somali pirates collected a total of about USD 238 million in ransom money and, to achieve this, attacked over 4 500 ships. Over the past years, their actions have created significant difficulties for trade, especially for oil and its derivatives. The cost of marine insurance has also increased and shipowners have passed this on to their customers. What is worse, the attacks are covering a greater area year on year. Pirates have been active off the coast of India and they have carried out attacks in the Bay of Bengal and in Indonesian waters. This issue demands that decisive military as well as aid measures be taken. As far as the first is concerned, the European Union should not become actively involved in military action, but instead ensure that more experienced organisations, especially NATO, have more scope for action. The alliance has always been a strong supporter of Europe’s military interests and this should continue. Our efforts should be focused on allocating funds to rebuild Somalia, which has fallen into chaos, as well as on consolidating the stocks of fish that fishermen from the Horn of Africa used to catch."@en1
