when they want to combat drugs in america or asia they find the means to do it and . if they really want to combat illegal fishing they have the means to do read they have the airplanes to photograph but they have the patrols to stop them from fishing in our seas. because they are shrinking our country and what is more serious. they are destroying our fishing resources and marine wealth for. the europeans regulation. which is slowly acquiring a global day bench and a worldwide effect has been implemented only for a year now regulation seeks the source of the profit if we manage to put
6:30 am
a stop to profit making the legal rules and the only way to do that is to seize all. imports to europe. also has deposits and marine life deposits in january imported to europe must be a certificate which credible to certify people that they are not the product of illegal fishing and that they have been caught according to the regulations with. voting illegal fishing certificate is good and. official legally have networks that bypass also. allow them to sell in the european asian and north american market fish that has been caught illegally around the consumer from north america or asia or europe will not this. english in
6:31 am
the market stalls. knows the fish is good but if it is been fished illegally or not that does not concern the consumer but of course this is not easy and the european union is doing all it to get it but don't forget that this is just another player on the global chess board and let's not forget there is great resistance and huge interests right now in our effort to form and he's fishing policy which will respect all that you mention the sustainability of the sea is met by a lot of opposition. these are all words. at the same time the ships are in the ocean every day today we are trying to establish an economy of subsistence. states of west africa from guinea bissau descent. so if we are in such a state of poverty. they have been flooded by drug dealers not going to ship is
6:32 am
arrested here not by chance but. it is carrying two tons of cocaine one or two kilo's but two ton. so that means the drug smugglers don't come to the states because they are in misery air we are governed by puppet presidents who do not care for the development of society or for education nor health of the forces they care about nothing when we build a statue worth thirty five billion we can't be saying we can't afford to buy two ships to patrol the seas when the organization of the islamic summit has cost hundreds of billions we cannot say we do not have the means we could say we channel our resources elsewhere.
6:34 am
other. conditions typically on these vessels that engage in fishing our. or her bendis there's there's there's no way to describe the how horrible and how completely unacceptable the conditions are on board of these vessels sometimes the crew have not been off the ship three or four for months even years at a time the ships were only being supplied every couple of months in terms of being given food and water etc there's no medical care on board the ships the ships look like a ghost ships and rust buckets. that if any european were to see how the fish is now and date on what type of conditions the fish is now and did the same platform where fish will be landed will be the platform where the fishermen will actually. desiccated where you're a mate or. it's. it's horrendous.
6:35 am
workers from senegal and in ghana togo all nationalities. the working conditions on the ships. not the least other senegalese fishermen. twenty four hours nonstop so i think that it's. because the key there are teams who don't work for twelve hours or more than the other for twelve hours a. day. there are days when their feet swell up inside their boots. and you need a knife to take them off people probably could cope with. both but some fall asleep on the working table. and that causes labor accidents. and they are abnormal conditions.
6:36 am
stay for three months and then we go out to shore are you well paid no we are not. you know in africa we suffer. we do not get paid well and there are also some restrictions we are not well here but there is nothing we can do this is how we live you know there is poverty in africa to find a job. they offer you a two hundred dollars salary. to help your family. it's not good but we can live with that i will be able to make. there is nothing but misery misery here . yes there was. no.
6:37 am
no no. the pseudocode my husband is at sea. when we see biologist he used to be a fisherman too much you could not make him in the top many more than a month so he left to become a sailor my dear because fishing is not stable in st louis so he went to the ship's . wrote i'm needed for this to have. him up there with. the kind of brother when he returns. florida serviced everything as born in illinois to feed the family here to play with and so the minute runs out to the. well. let me know what it was. and i have two boys and

6:42 am
6:44 am
me. he. was me. he the fishing boat that we arrested this morning at the shell oil based on the border but. their travels to come here and. this is very the stolen from the families that live here through the port it was a. compass for fish from mexico but we will try the problem with truly are of course the other courts with the same patient to be said to favor the
6:45 am
disembarkation and clearing through customs of illegal fishing in there has been complaints and we're trying to work together with the corresponding countries but with minister however as far as the european union countries are concerned we're responsible and all they can say is that we intend to. control's we really must look into these issues. of this in a while from soon to go morocco as soon as the fish is caught in the big on the one hand it is caught immediately and on the other it gets here within twelve hours packed in styrofoam with the proper ice at nine to twelve degrees celsius and it
6:46 am
gets here right away within twelve hours. to give us of course they buy it it's also cheaper there's not a lot of difference from domestic fish. it's something else these people should think that when they eat fish that comes from and kill legal fishing they eat the life of a fisherman to go if the consumers think of that and realise the cost of the money follows. they'll see that them money does not benefit the fisherman. now or the fishing communities.
6:47 am
they are foreign companies and very chinese or spanish if they are the two states that operate like that in west africa and they found a key to the company which is supposedly senegalese they arrive with fifteen big industrial scale fishing vessels that supposedly being low into the company and so they fish freely.
6:48 am
how do they escape the controls. when the ship comes to dhaka. he seeks a senegalese partner the senegalese continent becomes the fictitious president. did their big boom in order to deal with the public opinion and the regulation of. the best of stamps and everything but it looks fiddly. however it's the europeans who exploit the business. when the product arrives the european is here he checks it loads in the containers and sends it off. he sells it in his cities become find this product here.
6:49 am
and the fish is exported to europe. where you can see the container us. all fish goes to europe the white man is here and controls everything all the many loads the months the containers and sends them off to europe. so by having a flag sometimes as far removed as mongolia on your on your ship you are basically
6:50 am
exempt from a lot of fishing rules because mongolia hasn't ratified certain treaties or as and is not member of certain fisheries management organizations so this way you avoid many rules and regulations to a secure new poll that needs to be addressed by the international community. the fishermen live day by day and what they earn isn't enough for them to make a living anymore. and that is why there are waves of migration towards spain didn't get us all the list but. before when fishing when good and it said the people. had no need to leave for europe over they had opportunities
6:51 am
possibilities and they were not interested in migrating. to. the middle of europe as the one that organizes the flight of africans through europe organizes illegal migration to the e.u. . helped us out in combating illegal fishing all the young fisherman who are abandoning africa instead of going to europe would fish here for there would be a fish and they would make a profit. they would be able to feed their families but when they have nothing to eat when they left the protein when they have no money they will go where they can find to go to europe america canada. in europe is so if the e.u. wants our fish and each should accept our children and it's country so it can't be that it takes our fish causing misery and then tells our children to stay in their country the main public health issue in the e.u.
6:52 am
is obesity. in our countries the main public health issue is famine so this injustice is not sustainable either we live together in a fair and it gala tarion world or we share a world of terror because you would you apply can't tell you how many are in the ocean with the sea bottom is full of pirogue with the dead bodies of our children young people who left in search of adventure. when i was a child i would come to see because i loved it a credit boom or would you do it as the son of a fisherman who is proud to go out to see. his dream is to become a captain one day after that would lead. to how little it got but i had no money to support my parents so i decided to take
6:53 am
the perogue and emigrate. i didn't care about the danger or if i would live or die my dream was europe so that i could help my parents out. but you give every i took eighty seven people with me. who was on what we called one or more captain to help with the embarkation don't want but he was unlucky on the you know a wave overturned his ship. and nine people died in the sea of bora. never to millions who tried to save them. to the sea was cold and they all died around them but if we left without them. we said we're now all heading to spain you know but one male one family with the
6:54 am
same dream brothers and sisters if the parole gets there we will be saved if it sinks we will all die even those who know the sea well we must show solidarity of water starts getting into the pirogue we all take it out immediately we don't wait for the fisherman. legs to be a god given day after two days at sea and someone fell ill for a long walk to the left of the old woman he wouldn't eat or drink he was vomiting we forced him to eat and drink but he kept on vomiting we don't know what. i'm going to throw out to he died on the third day of the journey that he would get we threw his body to see because he started to decompose. they were operating we when we threw his body into the sea. and we all prayed to god that he would go to heaven i'm in your home going to know many were crying and saying we're all going to die. when there was
6:55 am
a jew on the fourth day big waves broke the barrel of the. big guy it was the mobile dog but. at that moment everyone was out of control no one did know how many because those people who had more experience know how dangerous a. is. a middle going to get i will have the gaga was about but on the look out i'm think i'm evident go more on the eldest of a soul a very experienced fisherman he told us not to fear about the poor a good bye is just to take a rope. and use it to tie the broken pieces. of your political to the book because. you did i thought you and we used our bags to close the hole. to look at some lay down and sealed the hole with their backs so that water wouldn't get into the pirogue what on journey was one of the hottest ever made.
