EXPLANATORY NOTE (This note is not part of the Order) This Order varies the Fishing Boats (Specified Countries) Designation Order 1996 which designates the Faroe Islands and Norway as countries whose registered fishing boats may fish for certain species of sea fish in certain areas of British fishery limits outside the area within 12 miles from the baselines from which the breadth of the territorial sea is measured, for the purposes of section 2(1) of the Fishery Limits Act 1976. The variation effected by this Order enables boats from these countries to fish for herring in ICES division IIa and is pursuant to agreements reached between the European Community and these countries on reciprocal fishing rights.
