I have a couple of quick questions. Under the coastal states structure and the blue whiting, the Atlanto-Scandian herring and the mackerel, the Minister said last year that Norway and the Faroe Islands had set unacceptably high unilateral quotas for mackerel 2021 and that he had concerns on that matter back then. He even called on the Commissioner to completely reject their unilateral and unsustainable actions. The Minister has more or less repeated this in his opening statement. What soundings is the Minister getting from Norway and the Faroe Islands on that?
