Mr. Hugo Boyle:

I would like to clarify remarks that Mr. Percy made about the producer organisations. He mentioned the producer organisations' compliance in regard to allocation of quotas and that the producer organisations have the majority of quotas. They do not have quotas. In the UK, the producer organisations have quotas whereas here it is a national quota divided equally among all the Irish vessels by the Department. The Department holds the quota here. The producer organisations have no input into the quota other than to advise on a monthly basis the Department as to what they would like the quotas to, but divided equally among all vessels in order that no cohort of vessels gets more quota than anyone else.
