Abstract

This Order , which forms part of the law of Scotland only, makes provision for the enforcement of certain enforceable Community restrictions and other obligations relating to sea fishing by Community vessels and third country vessels set out in Council Regulation (EC) 2555/2001. The Council Regulation fixes total allowable catches and the quotas of Member States for 2002 and lays down certain conditions under which they may be fished ("Community quota measures"). It also authorizes fishing by vessels of Norway and the Faroe Islands for specified descriptions of fish in certain specified areas within the fishery limits of Member States in 2002 and imposes requirements concerning fishing quotas and authorized zones, methods of fishing, the holding of licences and observance of licence conditions, the keeping of logbooks, the making of reports and similar matters. The Order makes provision for the purposes of Article 8 of and Annex IV, paragraph 2 to the Council Regulation as to the harbours in Scotland at which such catches may be landed (art. 3). The Order defines enforcement powers of British officers, creates offences and prescribes penalties in respect of breaches of the provisions of the Council Regulation.
