Dr. Cecil Beamish:

The first thing to understand is that under European law, the operators carry the primary responsibility for accurate weighing and reporting of catches. There is a very clear legal duty on the operators, in the first instance. After that, we are talking about detection of non-compliance. In that sense, a lot of effort has been made to strengthen the SFPA and to build its capability. A capability review was commissioned by the SFPA with an oversight committee, subsequent to the period the Deputy is talking about. There is an implementation advisory board in place implementing the findings of that capability review.

That happened after the period we are talking about.
