This Order amends the Prohibition of Keeping or Release of Live Fish (Specified Species) Order 1998 (“the 1998 Order”), in relation to Wales, by —

(1)

providing that the National Assembly for Wales is to be the licensing authority in respect of the prohibition in the 1998 Order on the keeping or release of specified fish except under licence (article 2(a)); and

(2)

substituting a new Schedule for that contained in the 1998 Order specifying the species of fish to which that Order will apply (article 2(b)). The new Schedule adds to the species contained in the original Schedule.
