(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Sea Fish (Specified Sea Areas) (Regulation of Nets and Other Fishing Gear) Order 2001 (S.I. 2001/649), which regulates the carriage of certain nets and other fishing gear. The amendment does not apply insofar as the 2001 Order extends to Northern Ireland.
The Order deletes article 6 of S.I. 2001/649 which imposed requirements on the maximum thickness of multiple twines in nets to which that order applied. It also makes minor consequential amendments to articles 2 and 3.
