I understand that it's difficult, but the committee can recommend the standardization of some practices.
I'll move on to a completely different topic, which is the issue of alternative bait. We're told that this bait is very expensive and that there's a shortage of bait. Currently, fishermen manage to fish with mackerel, plaice, herring or other types of bait.
Has the amount of alternative bait needed for the fishery been calculated? If so, could fishermen benefit from lower prices if the alternative bait were cheaper, for example, because of our exports to Spain and Japan?
