"Bluefin tuna stocks in the eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean have fallen dramatically over the years, and urgent action is needed to protect them. The International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT), to which the EU is a contracting party under the common commercial policy, adopted a new recommendation at its annual meeting in 2010. The amendments include reducing the Total Allowable Catch (TAC) and strengthening control measures used to implement a recovery plan. I am therefore in favour of the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Regulation (EC) No 302/2009 concerning a multiannual recovery plan for bluefin tuna in the eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean. The financial returns on fishing are so high that they actively encourage illegal fishing and other illegal activities. The time has come, therefore, to reassess the management measures adopted by ICCAT and to adapt them to current activities. It is also high time that the European Union acted quickly on its own initiative and as a precautionary measure to protect bluefin tuna and to rebuild stocks."@en1
