"We had the opportunity to prevent the disappearance of bluefin tuna, and the EU, the main exploiter of this species, also had the opportunity to assume its responsibilities. It is regrettable, however, that the European Parliament did not succeed in adopting more ambitious measures to address the plight of this iconic endangered species. The new legislation, which I certainly could not vote against, is only the bare minimum, but it will at least make it possible to enforce existing international standards. Although the European Union has just complied with the commitments made within the framework of the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT), we are still far from taking the necessary measures. Measures should have been taken, for example, to close zones to fishing, especially during the spawning season. In addition, stricter measures should have been adopted concerning illegal fishing and overfishing in particular, in order to fill certain gaps, which are currently exacerbating the problem of the over-exploitation of fish stocks. It may not be too late, and the EU will once again have the opportunity to enforce more stringent regulations this November."@en1
