Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order amends the Sea Fishing (Enforcement of Community Conservation Measures) Order 1986, as amended (the principal Order), which makes provision for the enforcement of certain of the enforceable Community restrictions and obligations concerning technical measures for the conservation of fishery resources which are contained in Council Regulation (EEC) No. 3094/86, as previously amended. The principal Order creates offences in respect of breaches of the provisions of that Council Regulation referred to in column 1 (and briefly described in column 2) of Schedule 1 to that Order and in article 3(2) of that Order. The principal Order also specifies penalties for such offences and confers powers of enforcement.

In consequence of that Council Regulation having been amended by Council Regulation (EEC) No. 3676/93, article 3 of this Order further updates the definition of the Council Regulation in article 2 of the principal Order (interpretation).

The Sea Fishing (Enforcement of Community Conservation Measures) (Amendment) (No. 5) Order 1992 is superseded by this Order and is revoked (article 4).
