Presumably if the Brits confiscate the vessel they other 19 have to buy the guy who was caught a new vessel tho'?? if not I can see "co-operation" not lasting very long............
The coop is a "cooperative", where members have a share in the sucess or otherwise of the operation. Sieze vessels and what do you do with them ? Sell them ? Cooperatives are very successful in Europe, they were in UK at one time (ignoring Coop retail services ).
