Text tabled : A7-0163/2011

  Elena Băsescu (PPE).(RO) Mr President, I voted for this report as the EU needs to continue to develop the integrated maritime policy. A global strategy has to be devised for oceans, seas and coastal regions. As one of the biggest fish markets in the world, Europe must use efficient technologies for traceability purposes. Global sales from illegal fishing are rising to EUR 10 billion a year. I must point out that illegal fishing in the Black Sea is jeopardising high-value species which typically have a long lifecycle. According to the statistics, more than 90 dolphins have been found stranded on the Romanian shoreline this year, which is largely attributable to poaching. Protection measures taken include 50 acoustic devices which have been positioned to keep them away from the fishing tackle.
