EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Instrument and does not purport to be a legal interpretation)

These Regulations provide for the removal of designated ports for landings of Cod greater than 2 tonnes given the repeal of Council Regulation (EC) No 1342/2008 of 18 December 2008 which established a long-term plan for cod stocks and the fisheries exploiting those stocks and repealing Regulation (EC) No. 423/2004.

These Regulations remove Duncannon Port as a designated port for landings of Herring greater than 10 tonnes as it is not used for this purpose.

These Regulations also designate the Port of Cork for landings of by catches of Blue Fin Tuna.
