I thank Dr. Beamish for giving us the background of the socioeconomic situation. He mentioned Scotland and the Natura sites. The committee tries to trawl through a lot of information. Can the three or four areas that we mentioned work in harmony? A significant number of inshore aquaculture sites are Natura sites and I hope that the new checks and balances will deal with our concerns.
