Abstract

These Regulations give effect to Article 92 of Council Regulation (EC) No. 1224/2009 establishing a Community control system for ensuring compliance with the rules of the common fisheries policy, which requires the establishment of a point system to be applied in case of commitment of a serious infringement by licence holder within the EEZ of Ireland or by an Irish vessel wherever it may be. The accumulation of points for persistent serious infringements of the Common Fisheries Policy will lead to the suspension of a sea fishing boat licence or to the permanent withdrawal of a licence. The Regulations provide for the establishment of a Determination Panel and an independent Fisheries Adjudicator to review the decision of the Determination Panel on the request of the licence holder. In determining whether an alleged infringement is a serious infringement, the Determination Panel shall have regard to — (a) the criteria set out in Article 3(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No. 1005/2008 (the IUU Regulation) and Article 90 of the Council Regulation, and (b) guidance notes published by the Sea Fisheries Protection Authority, from time to time, under paragraph 3.
