"This is one of those issues where the political decision must be based on solid science. The scientific opinion of the Portuguese marine and environmental institute (Instituto Português do Mar e da Atmosfera – IPMA) was that the existing derogation should be maintained, that is, that it should continue to be possible to remove fins on board vessels, although subject to tighter controls, in accordance with the current legislation. The IPMA believes that adopting the Commission proposal will cause evident economic harm, which is not justifiable given the current conservation status of resources, and it provides reasons connected with the quality of the fished products (avoiding freezing, thawing and re-freezing of the material) and the damage that this proposal will cause – by jeopardising the good and cooperative relationship between researchers and the sector – to the collection of information needed so that scientists can provide the authorities with opinions to ensure effective fisheries management and thus guarantee the conservation of these resources. Our vote was based on that opinion."@en1
