lpv:translated text	"I voted in favour of this report because the practice of finning is unacceptable from an environmental point of view, because it threatens the sustainability of some shark species targeted by this practice, from a social and economic point of view, because it involves squandering a source of food with commercial value, and also from a moral point of view, because it shows a total disrespect for animal life. This finning should therefore be repudiated unequivocally, and appropriate measures should be taken to ensure that this practice is effectively banned in European waters and in the Community fleet. In spite of the lack of any evidence of finning being practised by the European fleet, the Commission has decided to present a proposal to end the derogation from the ban on removing shark fins on board Community fishing vessels, a practice which, as noted above, is currently permitted provided that special fishing permits have been issued and subject to rules laid down by the regulation. I believe that the overall proposals put forward in this draft report have the advantage of addressing positively the two concerns of the Commission (to guarantee compliance with the prohibition of finning, and to collect scientific data for good management), and the concerns of the sector (to guarantee legitimate economic and social interests) and of the NGOs (to protect shark stocks)."@en1
