Each December there is an annual ritual in Brussels whereby quotas are allocated and, given the area of water under our control, we are disappointed by what we are allowed. I have read about qualified majority voting, but what happens when it comes to discussions in December is that the larger countries often gang together against smaller countries. It is not all wine and roses in Europe but on balance we have benefited hugely. It often amuses me when discussing fishing policy in December that Austria, which does not have a navy, sea coast or fishing industry, quite often aligns with the larger countries with regard to the allocation of quotas. One can say that all countries have a role to play and a contribution to make but in that case there is a contradiction. However, we have benefited from the European model.
