Abstract

These Regulations carry into effect for Ireland the provisions of Annex IVa of Council Regulation (EC) No 27/2005, which establishes a fishing effort limitation scheme in the context of the recovery of certain fish stocks, and the provisions of Council Regulation (EC) No. 423/2004 (Cod Recovery Plan) which establishes measures for the recovery of cod stocks and additional conditions for monitoring, inspection and surveillance. Persons in charge of Irish sea-fishing boats greater than 10 metres in overall length and operating in any of the areas specified in the Annex or the Cod Recovery Plan will be restricted if deploying any of the fishing gears specified in the Annex or the Cod Recovery Plan to the maximum number of days in a calendar month as specified in the Annex. They will be required to give advance notice of landing of fish to Sea Fisheries Protection Officers, and must obtain the prior approval of the relevant Sea Fisheries Protection Officer to land cod in excess of 1 tonne into ports or landing places. Quantities of cod in excess of 2 tonnes may only be landed into designated ports.
