"Mr President, the removal of fins from sharks onboard vessels is a practice which neither I nor my political group can support. Any derogation or loophole in legislation which creates a potential for allowing shark carcasses to be discarded at sea must be stopped immediately. This barbaric practice can lead to sharks either starving, drowning or being eaten by other fish and the process often takes a number of days.
It is shameful that these creatures are treated in such a way and as self-proclaimed proponents and enforcers of animal rights globally it is embarrassing that the European Union is behind many other countries around the world when it comes to enforcing rules on the removal of shark fins. I am fully in support of the Commission’s proposal to remove the ability of Member States to issue special fishing permits, thereby mandating that sharks are landed with their fins naturally attached.
I do not wish to see in any way a continuation of the derogation in this regulation."@en1
