"Mr President, I voted for this report because I am pleased to see some action being taken on bluefin tuna in the eastern Atlantic and the Mediterranean. The status of this stock has been controversial for many years.
Maybe this is a rare example of the situation of a specific fish stock improving. I do hope so. But it also highlights a major problem for those of us faced with the task of developing fishing policy which is both economically and environmentally sustainable. I refer, of course, to the difficult issue of data collection and validation, which is addressed in this report.
The International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas has clearly taken a very precautionary approach. I welcome this but I believe that its initial proposals were too hardline, so I am very happy to accept and support the report from the Committee on Fisheries, which takes a slightly softer line, although it still means that we are watching and that we will take action in the future."@en1
