Abstract

This Order designates additional countries for the purposes of section 2(1) of the Fishery Limits Act 1976. The Order also provides how fishing gear is to be stowed for the purposes of section 2(4) of the Act. Section 2(1) provides that the (Scottish) Ministers may, by Order, designate any country outside the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man and, in relation to it, areas within British fishery limits in which, and descriptions of sea fish for which, fishing boats registered in that country may fish. A foreign fishing boat not registered in a country for the time being designated under this Order shall not enter British fishery limits except for a purpose recognised by international law or by any convention for the time being in force between Her Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom and the government of the country to which the boat belongs. Access to fisheries within British fishery limits is specified for countries of the EU.
