lpv:translated text	"Shark finning consists in fishing sharks for the specific purpose of cutting off their fins, which are then sold on the Asian market, where they form the basis of a very popular dish. The practice was, for a long time, permitted in the European Union, and Europe accounted for 15 % of Asia’s shark fin imports. Finning was banned in the EU in 2003. However, exemptions were granted to some countries to continue to engage in this activity. The aim of this report was to allow the continuation of exemption measures. I am totally opposed to these practices and therefore voted against the report, like the majority of my colleagues. The fact that this report has not been adopted will mean that in future, sharks must be landed with their fins ‘naturally attached to the body’."@en1
