| Message | It is a pity that there's no option for local governments to determine these quotas. We can propose this: Government establishes fishing quotas ONLY in close agreement with local governments. Then we can accept this law. |

| Message | LCP, I think it's a reasonable proposal if we want sustainable development - and we can decide that those quotas are arranged with local governments. In that way local governments have enough influence, and there is some nationwide coordination in this area. |

| Message | We agree with the local governments regulating the matter on the basis of local expertise on the ecology and the specialisation that each local government can offer - however we don't think that National Congress should be legislating then delegating, fisheries should already be a local legislative area. |
