The report includes several measures to do with the fishing sector and I ask Mr. O'Driscoll to give us a brief outline of this in his general response. Last Friday week the committee dealt with the land use report.

It has been suggested that the food security and climate change objectives are potentially at loggerheads. That was the precise motivation behind our report. We hope the recommendations in our report will be helpful during the policy-framing stage. It should be mentioned, following on from the superlevy and milk simplification issues, that some of the schemes seem to get less simple as time goes on. Deputy Ó Cuív has reiterated a point I made just before we started, which is that the more one tries to broaden a scheme to encompass as many people as possible, the more it seems that simplification goes out the window. I invite Mr. O'Driscoll and his colleagues to respond.
