LÍÚ hrifsar til sín 1/4 makrílkvótanns.

1/4. Segi og skrifa. Samningsaðilar buðu 7% sem er 2000% aukning á kvóta - en nei! LíÚ vill útrýma makrínum. Má sjá umræður hér á írska þingi:

,,The EU, in an effort to achieve a deal, offered a 2,000% increase in Icelands quota. It was at 0.3% and the offer was made to increase it to 7%. In addition, the Faroese were being offered a quota of 8%, having previously caught 4.7% or 4.8% of the quota. We are talking about offering a combined 15% of a Euro 1 billion quota to countries that would previously have had approximately 5% access to the quota. The European Union has been more than generous in trying to find a resolution based on encouraging responsible fishing. Nevertheless, last year Iceland caught approximately 150,000 tonnes of fish from a recommended catch of approximately 630,000 tonnes or 640,000 tonnes. That is approximately 23% of the catch. This country would historically have had 0.3% or 4,000 tonnes of the catch but it decided to catch 150,000 tonnes last year. That country encouraged vessels from other parts of the world to help it catch large volumes of fish"
