This order provides for the enforcement of three Community Regulations concerned with fishing within Community waters, outside the waters under the sovereignty or jurisdiction of Spain and Portugal, by vessels flying the flag of Spain and vessels flying the flag of Portugal. The Community Regulations, which are referred to in column 1 of the Schedule to the order, form part of the measures made in connection with the accession of Spain and Portugal to the European Communities. The order makes breaches of those articles of the Community Regulations referred to in column 2 of the Schedule (relating to the matters briefly described in column 3) offences for the purposes of United Kingdom law where such breaches occur within British fishery limits. The order provides for the prosecution of offenders, specifies penalties for offences and confers powers of enforcement on British sea-fishery officers.
