Quotas, Common Fisheries Policy and Sustainability Impact Assessment: Discussion

I am happy to get information on the issue of real-time closure. What we have looked at is not the same. It relates to boarfish. There is anecdotal evidence to suggest that the scientific information on boarfish is not in line with what was expected. That is the position as best as I understand it. I am saying this on the basis of some scientific information I have been provided with. It is not fully consistent and there is potential to review it with some other analysis that may allow for something to happen mid-season, if this was a blip. I do not know whether that relates to the Deputy's other question. I will come back to him on it. We will write to him separately.
