Mackerel Quota Allocation: Iasc Mara Teoranta

4:00 pm

Mr. Tom Kane:

I would like to clarify something about what we are looking for. We are not looking for a quota grab for the factories in the same way as the quota is allocated to the boats. We do not want a quota that we can sell on afterwards. What we are looking for is for the fish to be landed to us at market price. The quota is actually going back again to the boat and we are paying the price. This is not a quota grab; it is a reallocation and redistribution of the way the fish is landed.
