We will then have five different issues we want to raise. We unanimously support the position taken on individual transferable quotas, ITQs, which was an achievement. The Commissioner pointed out that ITQs and discards were the two main planks on which the Commission was framing its new Common Fisheries Policy. There has been considerable movement on both issues. We could consider doing a position paper on the issue. Is that agreed? Agreed. I thank Dr. Beamish and Ms Kelly for attending.
