Explanatory note

United Kingdom

(This note is not part of the Scheme)

This Scheme makes provision for state funding of the costs incurred by persons in charge of English fishing boats in complying with two EU obligations:

(a)

the requirement to have on board a fishing boat a satellite-tracking device (Article 9 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 establishing a Community control system for ensuring compliance with the rules of the common fisheries policy^f1) (Part 2 of this Scheme), and

(b)

the requirement to have on board a fishing boat an electronic recording and reporting system (Articles 15, 22 and 24 of that Regulation) (Part 3 of this Scheme).

Eligibility to apply for funding is dealt with in paragraphs 4 and 11.

Paragraphs 8 and 15 provide for the withholding or recovery of payments in certain cases.

Paragraph 16 revokes two earlier Schemes.

A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument.
