Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order makes minor amendments to the Sea Fishing (Restriction on Days at Sea) (Scotland) Order 2003, mainly tidying up erroneous cross-references. It also makes procedural provision for appeals by boat owners, masters and charterers in connection with decisions of the Scottish Ministers to deduct fishing days from them as required by virtue of Annex XVII of Council Regulation 2341/2002 (O.J. No. L 356, 31.12.02, p.12).
