"I agree that the derogation or exemption from the regulation prohibiting the practice of removing the fins from sharks on board vessels and then throwing the rest of the animal’s body into the sea should be ended. In my opinion, 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 total disregard for animal life. This practice should therefore be unequivocally repudiated, and appropriate measures should be taken to ensure that it is effectively banned in European waters and in the Community fleet, particularly by moving to control the prohibition on finning, in order to wipe out any suspicions."@en1
