While Bagnara (RC) have celebrated the pirate fishermen, in exchange for new fishing licenses, recall the last swords used illegally since 2002, has been released by the site www.fishsubside.org the list of contributions public perceived by Italian vessels sanctioned from 2005 to 2010 for the illegal use of drift nets. And they appear among their various vessels of the navy of Bagnara.
The story follows the ban on drift nets imposed by the European Union in 2002. For that reason were assigned by the EU and by the Italian State over 200 million euro for the conversion of swords into less destructive methods of fishing. The Plan of Conversion Sword of 1998 provided, in addition to substantial economic aid, including the ability to receive a new fishing license for the ferrettara , a small derived by the use of which clear constraints has been permitted in Europe, but that has often been used fraudulently. A recent report by the General Command of the Harbour has revealed the fact that illegal use of drift nets (sword), illicit use of the bra, is much wider than previously reported.
Fishsubsidy has compared the data of over 330 vessels sanctioned between 2005 and 2010 with the aid budgeted by the Financial Instrument for Aid for Fisheries Guidance (FIFG) and the Plan of Conversion of Swords. What has emerged is outrageous: third of pirate fishing vessels has received significant amount of public . In total, between 1998 and 2006, were allocated 12.5 million euro at the very vessels repeatedly sanctioned for the use or possession of illegal drift nets. There are numerous cases where vessels have continued to trade with illegal gear while having received the assistance provided for the return.
Some case studies: the San Antonio, punished twice for a few days away illegal use of drift nets, has received 128, 000 € for contributions. L'Annunziata, sanctioned in 2008 and 2009 for illegal use of drift nets, has received € 168,000. David, penalized three times between 2005 and 2008 for the use of the sword has received, including 1998 and 2006, € 303,000 in aid by the plan other swords and 47.000 € in 2006 for the modernization of the vessel. The Patrician, punished four times between June and August 2007 with the seizure of 14 km of illegal drift nets, has received € 249,000 in aid. The Rossello di Bagnara, stop twice with the sword between May and June 2005, has received about € 191,000 from the conversion plan swords.
The data also confirm the recurrence of measures such as sanctions, which generally translate to a few thousand euro fine and confiscation of the networks, have no deterrent effect. Most of the vessels were repeatedly arrested illegal drift nets, it is a case in the Neptune, penalized seven times between 2006 and 2009.
Galan Minister knows this, reported by environmental groups immediately after his inauguration. The problem is that in our country the authorities have never applied Article 3 of Ministerial Decree of 14 October 1998 , which provides for the withdrawal of the fishing for three months after the first offense and six months in case of subsequent violations, and that would have a real deterrent. Rewarding the pirates of the sea with new fishing licenses, as now in Bagnara, would consume yet another mockery against those who operate within the rules in the fishing world.
