Abstract

Presidential Order No. 553/79 prohibits the issuing of new fishing licences for vessels using trawl nets. The present Order makes an exception to this regulation, permitting the issuing of new fishing licences for the following categories: a) new vessels for which it is proved that they were ordered before the 31st of July 1979 and are designated to replace old fishing vessels provided with a professional fishing licence. b) new vessels designated to replace old fishing vessels, damaged by natural causes or by other cause without responsibility on behalf of the owner, provided with a professional fishing licence. Fundamental requirement for the above-mentioned categories is the annulment of the previously existed licence with trawl nets.
