I voted in favour of this proposal on certain measures in relation to countries allowing non-sustainable fishing. Due to repeated infringements of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea and the UN Fish Stocks Agreement, as well as action taken in violation of requirements for states to cooperate in the management of migratory fish stocks, it is essential to adopt a legal instrument according to which the EU could take action against states that are unwilling to cooperate. In order to mitigate the negative impact on fish stocks Member States need to impose appropriate sanctions and I therefore welcome the proposals set out on imposing quantitative restrictions on imports into the EU of fishery products on states allowing non-sustainable fishing. The export of fishing vessels or fishing equipment to such countries should also be prohibited, as should the conclusion of private trade agreements by citizens of such countries with other countries."@en1
