  "text": "(This note is not part of the Order)\nThis Order amends the Sea Fishing (Enforcement of Community Conservation Measures) Order 1986, as amended, ( “the principal Order ”) which makes provision for the enforcement of certain of the enforceable Community restrictions and obligations concerning technical measures for the conservation of fishery resources which are contained in Council Regulation (EEC) No. 3094/86, as previously amended. The principal Order creates offences in respect of breaches of the provisions of that Council Regulation referred to in column 1 (and briefly described in column 2) of Schedule 1 to that Order and in article 3(2) of that Order. The principal Order also specifies penalties for such offences and confers powers of enforcement.\nIn consequence of that Council Regulation having been amended by Council Regulation (EEC) No. 345/92, article 3 of this Order further updates the definition of “the Council Regulation ” in article 2 of the principal Order (interpretation), and article 4 of this Order substitutes a new Schedule 1 to the principal Order. The amendments made by Council Regulation (EEC) No. 345/92 include in particular—\n(a) provisions relating to the number of meshes in the circumference of the cod-end of certain nets and relating to square-meshed netting in such nets (Article 1(1));\n(b) prohibitions on fishing for sprat in specified waters off the west coast of Denmark and in the Skaggerak and Kattegat (Article 1(6));\n(c) prohibitions on fishing with certain gear in specified waters off the coasts of Spain and Portugal (Article 1(7));\n(d) a prohibition on the carriage on board of automatic sorting equipment (Article 1(7));\n(e) provisions relating to drift nets (Article 1(8)).\nThe Sea Fishing (Enforcement of Community Conservation Measures) (Amendment) Order 1992 is superseded by this Order and is revoked (article 5).",
