"I voted in favour of this report because it is important for the EU’s fisheries interests to operate sustainably and legally. The EU is still currently the world’s largest market, has one of the largest fleets flying its flags and usually ranks among the top three catching powers. However, new markets in emerging economies are developing fast, especially in Asia. Many appear not to fulfil their responsibilities as flag, port and market states, or even to respect basic human rights, thereby creating harsh, even untenable competition. It should be noted that the basic principle is that activities outside the EU should be conducted according to the same standards as those applied to operators in the European Union. Similarly, if a Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (RFMO) applies a higher standard than the common fisheries policy (CFP) to EU vessels operating on its territory, then those higher standards should generally be included in the CFP. There is an urgent need to adopt new, fair and equitable resource allocation systems among RFMO members based on transparent environmental and social allocation criteria while ensuring that management and conservation measures are effectively implemented and enforced by all market participants."@en1
