No. I thank the Minister and his officials. What he said is correct. We have had too many political compromises on the CFP for years and against the background of the work the sub-committee is trying to do on smaller coastal communities and the people who represent the small inshore fishermen, it would be a travesty if we allowed IFCs, or whatever they are called, to become the norm.

As this is the last meeting, I wish all members an enjoyable break. Having regard in particular to the innovation we have had to incorporate into the meeting, I thank the broadcasting and editing staff, the ushers and the secretariat for all their help.
