På grund af de nye videnskabelige undersøgelser, der blev offentliggjort i tidsskriftet i oktober i år, har opmærksomheden været rettet imod sonarer.
I take the view that we should apply the precautionary principle in this instance too and should therefore temporarily ban the use of those types of sonar in European waters until such time as it has been proven that there is some other cause or – if the damage is indeed caused by these sonar devices – until a final ban is imposed.
