Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order, which is made under section 30(2) of the Fisheries Act 1981, amends the Sea Fishing (Enforcement of Community Quotas and Third Country Fishing Measures) Order 2000 (S.I. 2000/827) (“the principal Order”). The principal Order extends to England and Wales and to Northern Ireland but does not extend to Scotland.

The effect of the present Order is to add to Schedule 1 to the principal Order a reference to Article 7 of Council Regulation 2742/1999 (O.J. No. L341, 31.12.99, p.1), which prohibits fishing by European Community vessels in certain Norwegian and Icelandic waters and to remedy a typographical error in paragraph 5 of that Schedule. For convenience, the whole of Schedule 1 is restated in the present Order.
