"Madam President, I am utterly against these resource grabs. They establish, yet again, the dominance of powerful interests over those of indigenous peoples in poor nations.
Madagascar has had the EU access quotas increased by 30%, while the access fees granted to Madagascar have decreased by 20%. The resolution talks in big words about tightening monitoring, but Madagascar only has 11 police boats to cover around 5 000 kilometres of coast. These fine words mean nothing. Cape Verde is paid just EUR 3.3 million for four years of 71 EU boats plundering its seas – again, colonialist tactics to exploit a poorer nation. What is the EU? A new empire? As for Guinea-Bissau, the EU is exploiting its political instability and indirectly encouraging the move from subsistence fishing to drug smuggling. The EU should be ashamed.
Finally, regarding sharks, the south and west coasts of the UK are full of small sharks. This has nothing to do with the disgraceful practice of finning. Regulated fishing of them should be restarted."@en1
