Consultation on Proposed Legislation to Improve Regulating Order Enforcement

Listen

4. General Policy Intention

The policy intention is that these proposals to improve the enforcement of ROs would build on the Police, Public Order and Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 2006 provisions to further discourage illegal fishing and allow grantees to concentrate on developing the fishery. Ensuring closer compliance with ROs would allow for the improved, sustainable management of fisheries covered by these arrangements.
