"TACs would unfairly benefit countries with the most complete records of landings. Due to us having had conservation measures in place for a long time, we wouldn't have a track record and if the TACs were to come in, it could discriminate against a country like Ireland which has already done so much in this area. I ask that any potential moves towards TACs would recognise Ireland's unique position in this regard, as it would send a bad signal for conservation measures in general were Ireland to be penalised for having no track record."
