(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amend the Sea Fishing (Enforcement of Community Conservation Measures) Order 2000 (S.I. 2000/1081) (“the principal Order”) which makes provision for the enforcement of restrictions and obligations contained in Council Regulation (EC) No. 850/98 (OJ No. L125, 27.4.98, p. 1) for the conservation of fishery resources through technical measures for the protection of juveniles of marine organisms, as amended (“the Council Regulation”). Like the principal Order, the present Order does not form part of the law of Scotland and does not apply in relation to fishing activities within the territorial sea of Wales.
Article 3 of this Order updates the definition of “the Council Regulation” in article 2(1) of the principal Order to take account of the amendment of the Council Regulation by Council Regulation (EC) No. 812/2000 (OJ No. L100, 20.4.2000, p. 3), Council Regulation (EC) No. 1298/2000 (OJ No. L148, 22.6.2000, p. 1) and Council Regulation (EC) No. 724/2001 (OJ No. L102, 12.4.2001, p. 16).
This Order also amends the principal Order to make provision for the enforcement of restrictions contained in article 2 of Council Regulation (EC) No. 2549/2000 (OJ No. L292, 21.11.2000, p. 5) establishing additional technical measures for the recovery of the stock of cod in the Irish Sea (ICES Division VIIa) as amended by Council Regulation 1456/2001 (OJ No. L194, 18.7.2001, p. 1) and articles 4 to 8 of Commission Regulation (EC) No. 2056/2001 (OJ No. L277, 20.10.2001, p. 13) establishing additional technical measures for the recovery of the stocks of cod in the North Sea and to the coast of Scotland. This Order inserts references to the provisions in the definition of “specified Community measure” in article 2(1) and in the Schedule to the principal Order (articles 3 and 6). Article 5 makes other consequential changes. Article 4 corrects a drafting error in the principal Order.
1981 c. 29. See section 30(3) for the definitions of “enforceable Community restriction”, “enforceable Community obligation” and “the Ministers”, as modified by Schedule 2, paragraph 68(5) of the Scotland Act 1998 (Consequential Modifications) (No. 2) Order 1999 (S.I. 1999/1820). Article 3(1) and Schedule 1 of the Scotland Act 1998 (Concurrent Functions) Order 1999 (S.I. 1999/1592) provide for the functions exercisable under section 30(2) of the 1981 Act to be exercised by the Ministers, concurrently with the Scottish Ministers, in relation to: relevant British fishing boats within the Scottish zone; and Scottish fishing boats within the British fishery limits but outside the Scottish zone. By virtue of article 2(a) of the National Assembly for Wales (Transfer of Functions) Order 1999 (S.I. 1999/672) the functions exercisable under section 30(2) of the 1981 Act were transferred to the National Assembly in so far as exercisable in relation to Wales (defined in section 155(1) of the Government of Wales Act 1998 (c. 38) as including “the sea adjacent to Wales out as far as the seaward boundary of the territorial sea”); in respect of waters beyond Wales these functions remain exercisable by the Ministers. By virtue of article 2(1) of the Transfer of Functions (Agriculture and Fisheries) Order 2000 (S.I. 2000/1812) any remaining functions of the Secretaries of State for Scotland and Wales under section 30(2) of the 1981 Act were transferred to the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food.
