"How can we remain unmoved by the fate of sharks caught in our European waters and then thrown back into the sea, sometimes still alive, once their fins have been removed? This practice is totally unacceptable and runs counter to the sustainable and responsible management of our ecosystem. The European Commission has finally done the right thing by rejecting any possibility of exemptions in the future. To sanction such exemptions would be a considerable step backwards and would jeopardise all of the progress already made on the subject. The Patrão Neves report aims to limit the ban on shark finning to freezer vessels only, in the knowledge that the vast majority of the 200 Spanish and Portuguese vessels that already hold special permits are freezer vessels. Fortunately, the European Parliament has not yielded to the sirens from the industry and has refused to remove the substance of the Commission’s proposal, which bans all finning without any exceptions."@en1
