Det er i øvrigt sandt, at medlemsstaterne i 1995 selv besluttede ikke at forlænge kompensationsmekanismen til fordel for sardinen, netop fordi der blandt aktørerne og medlemsstaterne ikke længere var politisk vilje til at forfordele andre sektorer efter alt det, man allerede havde gjort.
It is also the case that in 1995 the Member States themselves decided not to extend the procedure for awarding carry-over payments in favour of the sardine industry, precisely because the operators and the Member States no longer wished to favour this sector over others, in view of everything that had been done already.
