Dolphins And Tuna Fishing

EDM number 386 in 1992-93, proposed by David Shaw on 30/06/1992.

That this House notes that dolphins are endangered by certain methods of catching tuna; is appalled that seven million dolphins have been unnecessarily killed over the last 30 years in the Eastern Tropical Pacific (ETP) alone as a result of the deliberate setting of purse-seine nets round dolphins in order to catch the tuna swimming below; notes that tuna caught on dolphins in the ETP accounts for only 5 per cent. of the world's tuna supply; notes that approximately half of all tuna caught on dolphins in 1990 was imported into Europe; welcomes the European Parliament's adoption of the report by David Morris MEP which calls for a ban on the import into the EC of all tuna caught on dolphins; and calls upon Her Majesty's Government to press the EC Commission to introduce legislation to ban the import into the EC of all tuna caught by dolphin-endangering methods and to prohibit the use of such methods in EC waters and by EC nations.

This motion has been signed by a total of 85 MPs.
