I am raising a specific Government policy, namely, the policy relating to protecting our waters within the six-nautical-mile zone for small fishermen and marine biodiversity. A fantastic policy was introduced in 2018. It was to become operational in 2019. Four years later, there is no sign of it. I know the whole history and the court cases involved. I have read the details relating to them. Four months after the final judgement, where is the policy? When will it become operational?

I know the Deputy knows the history of it well. There is a very strong Government commitment to protecting the zero-to-six-mile zone for inshore fishers in particular. A decision was taken and a policy was implemented by the previous Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Deputy Creed, who had a very strong commitment to this. Unfortunately -----

The policy outcome.

The court made a decision on a technical matter -----

I know.

----- and that had to be revisited. The court handed down its decision four months ago. We are considering it now. I plan to bring clarity as to how we move forward. As outlined on numerous occasions, it is my objective-----

When?

----- to continue to protect that zero-to-six mile zone. I hope in the next few weeks to be able to bring clarity on how we go forward. If we do it, there will be a need to do the process all over again.
