No such assurances have been sought. Spain's increased rights of access do not confer new quota allocations.

The Scottish Fisheries Protection Agency will continue to deploy the enforcement resources at its disposal to meet perceived needs and risks within the Scottish zone.

Common Fisheries Policy requirements in relation to policing and enforcement apply similarly to all EU member states.

There is no legal basis on which to discriminate against the Spanish fleet. Their fishing activities fall to be regulated by the access and quota allocation arrangements set out in the Common Fisheries Policy.

All fisheries decisions, including those on relative stability, are taken by Qualified Majority Vote. No member state has a veto in this area. The principle of Qualified Majority Voting for fisheries was first set down in the Treaty of Rome.
