(a) the date of the chargeable transaction;

(b) a description of the fishery products sold (sufficient for the purposes of identifying whether any of the products fall into one of the categories listed in regulation 48(2)(a));

(c) the net weight of each description of fishery products sold;

(d) the purchaser;

(e) the amount of the third country direct landings charge;

(f) the amount of any reduction in the reducible element of the third country direct landings charge; and

(g) the place of landing of the fishery products sold and the country or territory in which the products originate(1).

(2) In any case where, in respect of any relevant fishery products—

(a) the district council responsible for checks on vessels and on conditions of landing (“the general monitoring council”); or

(b) the district council responsible for the checks provided for in Section II of Chapter V of Schedule 3 (“the special checks council”),

is different from the district council to which the first vendor of the products is required to pay a sum equal to the amount of the third country direct landings charge (“the recipient council”), the recipient council shall remit to the general monitoring council or, as the case may be, the special checks council a sum equal to any amount received from the vendor which is referable to checks for which the general monitoring council or, as the case may be, the special checks council is responsible.
