I thank the gentlemen for their comprehensive presentation. There is not much need to ask questions because the report says it all. Deputy Charlie McConalogue has made reference to this issue already, but I am not sure if his question was answered. How reciprocal was the previous arrangement? If Northern vessels were trawling in our waters, was there a reciprocal arrangement if Southern vessels tried to fish in UK waters? Was the arrangement made through the exchange of letters or whatever else? I may have seen an indication somewhere that this might not have been the case. Was the arrangement working or did it ever work?
