Mr. Gill
To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will make a statement on the distinction between the principle and the application of relative stability as stated in the EC 1991 Report to the Council and to the European Parliament SEC(91) 2288 final. [31018]
Mr. Morley
The European Commission's report of 1991 was prepared prior to the 1992 review of the Common Fisheries Policy. Following that review, relative stability is applied by virtue of Article 8 of Council Regulation (EEC) No. 3760/92.
