I asked a question on compliance among member states and the reporting in the procedure. How is that working? Dr. Beamish stated Ireland was responsible for the policing of the catch in Irish waters. How is this procedure working in terms of compliance among other member states? I have in mind the example of the Spanish fleet, which will not land catches from Irish waters in this country. How will that be policed? Will we rely on the Spanish authorities to inform us of what Spanish vessels catch in Irish waters?
