"I am very perturbed by the brutal practice of removing shark’s fins on board vessels and then throwing the sharks’ bodies into the sea. This practice is exceedingly cruel. It is wasteful and a direct threat to many rare species of shark. That is why I voted in favour of the European Commission’s proposal that strengthens the Union’s ban on removing sharks’ fins on board vessels, allowing no derogations. I also voted against those amendments that would extend the existing loopholes in the ban on removing sharks’ fins and that proposed the implementation of expensive methods that have proved ineffective. The approach of ensuring that fins are naturally attached has been in force and has proved itself over a long period of time in many countries such as the US and Australia, and most Member States of the European Union do not allow sharks’ fins to be removed on board vessels. The EU’s provisions cannot allow any derogations from that ban. Thank you."@en1
