Explanatory note

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order varies the Sea Fish Licensing Order 1989 which prohibits fishing, subject to exceptions, by British fishing boats in specified areas of sea for the principal species of sea fish, unless authorised by a licence.

This Order extends the scope of that prohibition to include fishing for all species of sea fish in ICES IIa (Norwegian Sea) and IV (North Sea) (article 2 and Schedule).
