A new international cooperation against fisheries crime is founded today. 
I dag starter et nytt internasjonalt samarbeid mot fiskerikriminalitet.
- To combat illegal and unregulated fishing one must look at the entire chain of industry. 
- For å bekjempe fiskerikriminalitet må man se på hele næringskjeden.
The aim is to bring the perpetrators to justice - not just their boats. 
Målet er å ta bakmennene – ikke bare båtene deres.
To become more effective, we must work across both agencies and borders, says Norway’s Minister of Fisheries Elisabeth Aspaker. 
For å bli mer slagkraftige må vi jobbe på tvers av etater og landegrenser, sier fiskeriminister Elisabeth Aspaker.
Norway, Great Britain, Germany, Netherlands, Ireland, Denmark and Iceland participate in the working group, which will strive to uncover economic crime in the fishing industry. 
Norge, Storbritannia, Tyskland, Nederland, Irland, Danmark og Island deltar i samarbeidet, som skal jobbe for å avdekke økonomisk kriminalitet i fiskerinæringen.
- Illegal fishing and trading is not only a threat to sustainability and the environment, it also provides the basis for a vast black economy. 
- Ulovlig fangst og omsetning er ikke bare en trussel mot fiskebestandene, det gir også grunnlag for en enorm svart økonomi.

Globalt ulovlig fiske har en verdi på over 160 milliarder kroner.

- Det er et viktig oppdrag som Egeland har påtatt seg.
There is no time to lose. 
Det er ingen tid å miste.
