Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order varies the Sea Fish (Specified Sea Area) (Regulation of Nets and Prohibition of Fishing Methods) Order 1989 (S.I. 1989/1284).
The Order varies the minimum mesh size of gill and other specified nets which are prohibited in the specified area, from 65 millimetres to 71 millimetres (article 2(2)). This brings the mesh size range for the gill nets and other nets covered by this Order into line with the mesh size ranges of gill nets which are governed by Council Regulation (EC) 850/98 (O.J. L125 27.4.98 p.1.).
The Order also reduces the area in which the derogation from the prohibition on the use of gill and other specified nets of certain mesh sizes applies (article 2(3)).
A single regulatory impact assessment has been prepared in relation to both this Order and the Bass (Specified Areas) (Prohibition of Fishing) (Variation) Order 1999 (S.I. 1999/75) and deposited in the Libraries of both Houses of Parliament. Copies may be obtained from:
