"I voted in favour of this report because in November 2010, in Paris, the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) amended its multiannual recovery plan for the eastern stock of bluefin tuna. As the EU is a contracting party to ICCAT, it is obliged to transpose those amendments into EU law. Stocks of Atlantic bluefin tuna have been drastically reduced and urgent action is required to protect them. In this context, ICCAT agreed a new recommendation. The changes include a reduction in the Total Allowable Catch and a strengthening of the control measures used to implement the recovery plan, specifically those relating to caging and transfer operations. This is very relevant for the European Union because, despite major investment in fishing management measures, many problems still remain with regard to historical overfishing. Given that the ICCAT recommendation has already been adopted at international level, there is limited scope for amending the text of the transposition. However, there are some modifications which could be made in order to improve the proposal. It is necessary to reflect the obligations contained in the Marine Strategy Framework Directive in the multiannual recovery plan for bluefin tuna."@en1
