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 third country 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 importer of fresh fish landed by a third country vessel in the State shall pay to the Department of Communications, Marine and Natural Resources a specified fee per consignment or a specified fee per tonne, whichever is the greater. The fee and any fees due under Regulation 4 are payable on the date on which the consignment is checked and approved for entry into the European Community by an authorised officer. The importer shall also reimburse the Department of Communications, Marine and Natural Resources the costs of any examinations, checks and analysis carried out on the fresh fish.
