lpv:translated text	"Mr President, flag states assume the responsibility for their vessels’ compliance with international rules and regulations. The International Maritime Organisation conventions to improve maritime security and to protect the environment, the commitments laid down in the Maritime Labour Convention adopted by the International Labour Organisation, and the agreements concluded by the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations on resource conservation and on the implementation of the international action plan against illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing will not be effective if the flag Member States disregard their obligations and do not exercise the jurisdiction and control to which they are obliged. Fishing is essential for flag states. The flag state is responsible for the vessels’ activity, which includes identification, compliance with management measures, declaration of catches, and the development of control and monitoring activities. The European Union’s regulation on illegal fishing is based on this principle. I completely agree with the concern over the information with which, under the CITES framework, the principle of the flag state is being questioned. If this initiative succeeds, it would effectively set a serious precedent that would move to other international fora, such as regional fisheries organisations. The collapse of the relationship between fishing and the flag state will erode the fight against illegal fishing, leading to regulatory arbitrage, less transparency and less control. For that reason, I believe that the Commission should react by making states adopt a common position and defend the compliance of their commitments to flag states."@en1
