The proposal was a continuation of the Structural Quota System (SQS) implemented in the coastal fleet in 2004 and the SQS in the ocean-going fleet implemented as of 2005. A time limit of 20 years on the structural quotas was re-introduced (25 years for already allocated quotas) and from 2008 the SQS in the coastal fleet was introduced for vessels between 11 and 15 metres. Prices for important species such as herring, mackerel cod and haddock have been reduced from 2008 to 2009, while the price for saithe has increased. North Arctic cod has been under particular pressure due to IUU fishing in the Barents Sea.
