Finally, on the blue whiting, Deputy Gallagher mentioned the SFPA there. It is annoying that if you come in with blue whiting and are turned away, you have to go to fishmeal. I always thought BIM stood for quality and stuff. Could BIM not intercede here and say the monitoring has to be done in the factories rather than going through this machine that is turning our fish into mush? Does BIM have any say in this moving forward?
