Abstract

These Regulations implement Council Directive 96/43/EC of 26 June 1996 amending and consolidating Directive 85/73/EC in order to ensure financing of veterinary inspections and controls on fish and fishery products insofar as that Directive requires charges to be applied in relation to Irish fishing vessels. The Regulations also provide for the approval of authorised officers to enforce the Regulations, the prosecution of offences, and the level of fees to be charged. The owner of the Irish fishing vessel shall pay to the Department of Communications, Marine and Natural Resources a fee determined by reference to the categorisation of the fishing vessel in one of the specified categories, as determined by landings recorded in the official European Communities logbook for the vessel.
