I was hoping we would confine our remarks to questions and that we would have a maximum of three minutes for questions. I will be very brief. The Minister has addressed questions on Commissioner Damanaki's proposals relating to discounts and transferable quotas. He might address also the Hague preferences pertaining to the whitefish fleet. When will he be announcing decisions on the allocations for and management of the mackerel fishery, in respect of which there is to be a quota increase of 10%; the boarfish fishery, which involves a new quota species; and the Celtic Sea herring fishery?
