These Regulations amend the Sea Fishing (Days in Port) Regulations 1991 (“the principal Regulations”) which make provision for the enforcement throughout the United Kingdom of Article 13 of Council Regulation (EEC) No. 3926/90, fixing for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, the total allowable catches for 1991 and certain conditions under which they may be fished. The present Regulations make provision for fishing vessels to be exempted from the requirement in the principal Regulations to remain in port for 8 consecutive days in each calendar month (regulation 4). The amendment is consequent upon a decision of the Commission of the European Communities relating to fishing gear. The decision was communicated to the United Kingdom authorities by letter dated 13th February 1991. Copies of the letter are available from the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, Nobel House, 17 Smith Square, London SW1P 3JR, the Scottish Office Agriculture and Fisheries Department, Pentland House, 47 Robb’s Loan, Edinburgh EH14 1TW, the Welsh Office Agriculture Department, Cathays Park, Cardiff CF1 3NQ and the Department of Agriculture for Northern Ireland, Hut 5, Castle Grounds, Stormont, Belfast BT4 3TA. The Regulations also insert two new definitions in the principal Regulations (regulation 3) and make some drafting corrections (regulations 5 and 6).
