I will answer the last question first. In the allocation of quota, particularly mackerel, the inshore fisheries get 400 tonnes off the top, regardless of the cut. The inshore fisheries, if I am not mistaken, are not going to be impacted in terms of their quota allocation by any decision that might be taken in line with the scientific advice in December. I am confident that this resolves that issue.
