All sectors, inshore, pelagic and polyvalent, need support regarding fuel. This has been called for regularly and it has been done in other EU countries. I reiterate that this support is needed. The Minister has spoken positively about this in recent weeks. It seems the escalating fuel costs will not ease off any time soon so the challenges are still there. These costs are very much eating into the profit margins of fishermen, whatever size boat they are using and whatever fish species they are targeting. Will the Minister comment on this?
