Abstract

This Order provides for the enforcement of Commission Regulation (EC) No. 2244/2003 laying down detailed provisions regarding satellite-based Vessel Monitoring Systems. Articles 5 to 9 of the Order create offences for contravening requirements relating to: the installation of a satellite-tracking device; the switching off of a satellite-tracking device in port without prior notification; the information to be transmitted by the satellite-tracking device; the responsibilities relating to a satellite-tracking device and the technical failure or non-functioning of a satellite-tracking device. Articles 11 to 14 apply to third country fishing boats within relevant British fishery limits. They create offences for contravening requirements relating to: the installation of a satellite-tracking device; the information to be transmitted by the satellite-tracking device; the responsibilities relating to the satellite-tracking device and the technical failure or non-functioning of the satellite-tracking device. For the purposes of enforcing the Commission Regulation the Order confers on British sea-fishery officers the powers to: board fishing boats; test any equipment on board; require the production of documentation relating to the boat, equipment, or fishing or ancillary operations; search the boat; remove the satellite-tracking device or any other equipment on the boat; and take the boat to the nearest convenient port and detain the boat.
