The person in charge of a British or foreign fishing boat which lands cod in England in contravention of Article 12 of Regulation 423/04 is guilty of an offence.

The conditions referred to in paragraph 2 are—
the fishing boat is party to an arrangement made among fishing boats using the port with a person or organisation to act as their controller for the purposes of that point; and
details of the arrangement, and the fishing boats which are party to it, have been notified to the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.
For landings in England, the ports, and where applicable the landing locations within them listed in the Schedule are designated for the purposes of Article 12 of Regulation 423/04.
