(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order revokes the Undersized Bass Order 1989 (S.I. 1989/1285) and the Undersized Bass (Revocation) Order 2007 (S.I. 2007/857) in relation to England.
The Undersized Bass Order 1989 set the minimum landing size in Great Britain for bass landed from British fishing boats. This is now redundant as a result of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/1316 of 30th July 2015 derogating from Council Regulation (EC) No. 850/98, as regards the minimum conservation reference size for sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) (OJ No. L 203, 31.07.2015, p. 9).
The Undersized Bass (Revocation) Order 2007 revived the Undersized Bass Order 1989 following an earlier revocation. It is therefore no longer necessary.
An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact is foreseen on the private, voluntary or public sectors.
