I had questions but they are all answered. I did not want to repeat them. I am sorry I had to leave.

There was one question that I did not hear an answer to, although the witnesses have probably answered it. It is about the track record. Maybe somebody has asked already but can they explain how small-scale island fishers were prevented from establishing a track record and, therefore, normal access to national quota?
