Abstract

These Regulations implement in England and Wales Council Regulation (EC) No 1100/2007 establishing measures for the recovery of the stock of European eel. They require holders of licences to fish for eels other than by rod and line to submit eel catch returns to record information relating to eels caught of 12 centimetres or less in length and aquaculture production business operators to keep records of eels of less than 12 centimetres received. Eels from or to England or Wales must be accompanied by a certificate identifying the origin of the eels and that eels for export were caught in a manner consistent with the relevant eel management. The Regulations further provide for close seasons, the free passage of eels and enforcement.
