Dr. Susan Steele:

We welcome every effort by the fishers. We have always worked with them and supported them in their compliance with the control regulation, particularly the requirement to weigh fish. However, the decision of the Commission we are now examining is such that the weighing of fish would have to occur prior to transport. This is due to historical issues with the industry-owned machinery. There was a requirement to have state-owned weighing machinery to weigh the pelagic fish. What the Deputy is describing is a system. There are cameras on the system but there are still concerns over the systems. That is the reason for the Commission's decision to remove to control plan.
