Abstract

This Order makes provision for the enforcement within Wales and the territorial sea adjacent to Wales of certain Community restrictions and other obligations relating to sea fishing by both Community and third country vessels set out in Council Regulation (EC) No. 2742/1999. This Regulation fixes total allowable catches and Member States' quotas for 2000 and lays down certain conditions under which they may be fished. It also authorizes fishing by vessels of Norway and the Faeroe Islands for specified descriptions of fish in certain specified areas within Member States' fishery limits in 2000 and imposes requirements concerning fishing quotas and authorized zones, methods of fishing, the holding of licences and observance of licence conditions, the keeping of log books, the making of reports and similar matters. Article 3 of the Order creates offences in respect of breaches of the provisions of the Council Regulation referred to in column 1 of Schedules 1 (for Community vessels) and 2 (for third country vessels) to the Order. Penalties are specified for such offences (art. 4). The Order confers powers of enforcement on British sea-fishery officers in relation to certain fishing boats within the territorial sea adjacent to Wales and on land in Wales in relation to the seizure of fish and fishing gear (arts. 6, 7 and 8).
