Very often, we look for solutions and try to make recommendations that can be enforced coast-to-coast, across the country. Yet, I believe, as do my colleagues, that we cannot proceed in this way. One solution may work in a certain area, but not necessarily in another. There can be variations, particularly as regards the licence buy-backs. Solutions may vary geographically, according to the fishing sector that we are dealing with. Do you agree with this way of working?
