Abstract

The Order provides for stricter measures for the management and conservation of stocks pursuant to article 46 of Council Regulation (EC) 850/98 of 30th March 1998 for the conservation of fishery resources through technical measures for the protection of juveniles of marine organisms. It prohibits fishing with any trawl other than a single trawl. The prohibition applies to a Scottish fishing boat wherever it may be and to any other British fishing boat within the Scottish zone (art. 3 (1)). The Order introduces a definition of "single trawl" (art. 2(1)). The prohibition does not apply to beam trawlers, to fishing in certain areas with a trawl having a specified mesh size of not less than 80 millimetres or to fishing in any area with a trawl having a mesh size of 100 millimetres or more (art. 3(2)). This Order applies the exception to "the Fladen area" (art. 2(1)). In the Fladen area there is introduced a minimum mesh size of 80 millimetres for any trawl other than a single trawl (art. 3(2)(b)). The Council Regulation 850/98 provides for a mesh size of 70 millimetres. British Sea fishery officers are given certain enforcement powers for the purpose of the enforcement of the Order (art. 4).
