It is not abnormal. Okay. How does the Sea-Fisheries Protection Authority ensure that the regulations which have nothing to do with it, because the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs in the North is supposed to do this and the SFPA is not concerned whether fish is being landed in France, Spain or wherever because the SFPA has its job to do in the jurisdiction in which it is the competent authority. How is the authority able to ensure that all the landings that happen in Derry and that are purchased by processors in Killybegs are weighed in Derry?
