As I said, it's in black letters here. There are two categories of licence holders, and each one can arguably be made up of two different groups. But the black letters say it cannot be interpreted in any other way:
When the TAC reaches 9,700 mt the distribution of the quota will be calculated as follows. The permanent licences existing prior to 2005 will equally share 50% of the TAC and all licences converted to permanent status in 2005 will share the remaining 50%.
As to the 9,700-tonne threshold, would you say as an economist that this was created to ensure stability? It created a guarantee of special status for the traditionals and first nations. It stipulated that the economic viability of their licences would be assured after the threshold of 9,700 tonnes is reached. There can be a different or new sharing pattern, while maintaining stability and economic liability. Is that the rationale, do you think?
