Mr. Paschal Hayes:

We have roles there. The Northern Ireland authorities have roles as the port state. The flag state, that is, the state that has given the fishing vessel licence to kill those fish, has roles. There was a flag state here and a port state here, that was Northern Ireland. We have roles in our jurisdiction for being responsible for controlling the first purchaser of those fish. We carry out checks of the data provided to us by the first purchaser. I will not speak to individual scenarios but it is likely that in the event of the transporter being present in Ireland, then we have a role as the member state responsible for controlling the transporter. So both the transporter and the first purchaser are obliged to make declarations to us. We assess those declarations to assess whether the fish have been weighed in accordance with the weigh regulations and to assess their declarations, which are obliged to be the same as the weigh records. We have to assess the accuracy of the declarations in both of those instances. We make checks to ensure the accuracy to the best of our ability from the data available to us. Those are the procedures.
