That is a very helpful comment, and I am happy to take it away to give it further consideration.
More generally, conservation of fish stocks is clearly important. I am not sure that marine conservation zones of themselves are necessarily the best mechanism to deal with that. Fisheries by-laws enable us to provide adequate protection where necessary, but I reiterate—I know that we will come back to this point later—that we will work within Europe and within the common fisheries policy to ensure that we influence fisheries policy in the right direction.
