According to the 2010 Food and Agriculture Organisation report, the average per capita fish consumption has doubled since the 1960s. Fish is the primary raw material for the food industry in terms of trade volume, worth an estimated USD 102 billion in 2008.
It is therefore not surprising that a portion of fish stocks is under constant threat of impoverishment and that the issue of environmental and food balance demands the greatest sense of responsibility and concrete measures to combat illegal fishing, According to some environmental organizations, in fact, its turnover exceeds 25% of the value of the global market.
As the primary stakeholder in this market, the EU has a duty (as a matter of self-protection and fairness) to leverage markets in order to encourage less sensitive countries to meet the stock management requirements established in the conventions. I therefore support the report."@en1
