Article 18 Transfer of days from one boat to another

Transfer of unused days within the same management period from one relevant fishing boat (“the donor”) to another (“the recipient”) for the purposes of paragraph 12 of Annex IIc where either the donor or the recipient is, or both are, a relevant fishing boat, is permitted subject to the conditions specified in paragraphs 12.1 to 12.3 of Annex IIc, to the extent specified in a notification of transfer sent to the Scottish Ministers.

Transfer of unused days within the same management period between a relevant fishing boat and a foreign fishing boat for the purposes of paragraph 13 of Annex IIc is permitted subject to the conditions specified in paragraph 13 of Annex IIc, to the extent specified in a notification of transfer sent to the Scottish Ministers and consented to by the Scottish Ministers.

A person who knowingly or recklessly makes a statement in a notification under paragraph (1) or (2) which is false in a material particular is guilty of an offence.

For the purposes of this article “the same management period” means any two management periods provided that the transfer takes place during the concurrence of the management periods.
