"Madam President, we have the opportunity today to discuss one of the specific risks targeting food security: major threats to the global fish stocks. Fish plays a key role in a healthy diet, being one of the most recommended sources of animal protein. This vital resource is being decimated by unsustainable exploitation based on not only fishing practices which ignore long-term food security, but also on abuses deriving from illegal fishing.
I wish to thank the rapporteur for his efforts to tighten the regulations on the bluefin tuna fishery. At the same time, I am disappointed to say that his amendments and our similar amendments from the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety have not received sufficient support. The measures provided for by the new international agreement will ensure that existing regulations are implemented and enforced more effectively.
This is a hugely important step. I must thank those who have made it possible for these improvements to come into force before the start of the new season. However, the reality clearly shows us that these measures will not be adequate. Future agreements will have to be much more ambitious if we really intend to protect the marine environment and the source of healthy food it provides us with."@en1
