Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order amends the Sea Fishing (Enforcement of Community Control Measures) Order 1985, as amended, (“the principal Order”) which makes provision for the enforcement of certain of the enforceable Community restrictions and obligations relating to sea fishing set out in Council Regulation (EEC) No. 2241/87 establishing certain control measures for fishing activities and Commission Regulation (EEC) No. 2807/83 laying down detailed rules for recording information on Member States' catches of fish.
