lpv:spoken text	"Overfishing of bluefin tuna and illegal catches have led to stocks decreasing significantly; this is why there is a need for a renewed effort to preserve the species in Europe. I voted in favour of measures aiming to further reduce fishing quotas and strengthen controls over bluefin tuna fishing in the eastern Atlantic and the Mediterranean. Some 56% of all legally captured bluefin tuna comes from EU waters. The main countries fishing it are Spain, France and Italy, and the main importer is Japan. In this resolution, which I voted in favour of, Parliament aims to tighten rules protecting EU bluefin tuna stocks, along the lines proposed by the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT). The proposals include reducing the allowable quotas and establishing sanctuaries, calling for some zones in the Mediterranean to be declared closed areas or sanctuaries for bluefin tuna. These proposals are vital in helping to rebuild the tuna population."@en1
