Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order) — published with the instrument by the department that made it. © Crown copyright, reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0.

This Order amends the Scotland Act 1998 (River Tweed) Order 2006 (“the 2006 Order”) which makes provision for salmon and freshwater fisheries in the Tweed district. The Tweed District is defined in article 2 of the 2006 Order. This Order introduces a new enabling power to allow provision to be made for the tagging of salmon. It also makes consequential amendments to articles 51 (exemptions in relation to fish farming) and 75 (Crown application) of the 2006 Order. In addition article 75 is amended so that Part 3 of the 2006 Order (enforcement) applies to those provisions listed in article 75(1). A Business Regulatory Impact Assessment has not been carried out as this Order creates an enabling power. A Business Regulatory Impact Assessment will be prepared when the scheme is finalised and consultation on the draft Order made under article 43A of the 2006 Order is carried out.
