I refer to the relative stability key. How will that work? Can Ms McSherry envisage us getting some sort of bluefin quota? As was stated in the Department report, at first it was stated that there were 40 species available exclusively to the Union and, basically, they were given out to international waters and so on. All that kind of stock was lost and given away, and yet we said we got a balanced agreement, which the fishermen surely would not agree with. Mackerel, in itself, is a lucrative stock and we do not seem to be getting enough of it. I wonder what is the position on it.
As was said, the bilateral negotiations took place between the EU and Norway from 7 November to 8 December. How many meetings took place in that month?
