## Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order revokes the Undersized Whiting Order 1992 (“the 1992 Order”) (article 2). The 1992 Order prescribed minimum sizes for the landing and sale in Great Britain, and for carriage on a British fishing boat, of whiting (Merlangius merlangus).
Minimum sizes for the landing, sale, transportation, storage and carriage of whiting are now prescribed by Article 19 of Council Regulation (EC) No. 850/98 (O.J. No. L125, 27.04.98, p.1), laying down certain technical measures for the conservation of fishery resources, as read with Article 17 of that Regulation. These are implemented by the Sea Fishing (Enforcement of Community Conservation Measures) (Scotland) Order 2000 (S.S.I. 2000/53).
