EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Scheme)
This Scheme provides for grants to be made for decommissioning fishing vessels eligible in accordance with paragraph 2.
The Secretary of State will send out application forms to the owners of those eligible vessels, giving details of the scheme and the closing date (paragraph 3). Under that paragraph an applicant must complete the form and specify the amount of grant for which he is bidding.
Under paragraph 4, the Secretary of State must consider the applications, and, if there is enough money in the scheme, must pay the full amount to all applicants who have made valid applications. If there is not enough money in the scheme to do this he must rank the vessels in order of priority, and pay the full amount to the highest ranking vessels until the money in the scheme is exhausted.
The grants are not payable until the fishing licences have been surrendered and the vessels have been destroyed (paragraph 5).
A full regulatory impact assessment of the effect that this instrument will have on the costs of business and the voluntary sector is available at http://defraweb/fish/sea/fleet/index.htm.
