GIVEN under my Official Seal, 28 January,
  1. CHARLIE MCCONALOGUE, Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine. EXPLANATORY NOTE (This note is not part of the Instrument and does not purport to be a legal interpretation.) This instrument adds to those ports designated for direct landings by fishing vessels registered to Third Countries outside the EU, allowing entry to the EU of such fishery products. Existing designations of Castletownbere and Killybegs are maintained to facilitate all such landing where otherwise permissible under national and EU law. Five ports of Burtonport, Rathmullen, Greencastle, Rosamhil and Howth are designated for a particular subset of direct landings from Northern Ireland registered vessels. These designations do not permit landings of live bivalve molluscs, live echinoderms, live tunicates or live gastropods, other than by NI registered vessels, or in the case of Castletownbere or Killybegs also by EFTA vessels. These designations do not permit the landings of frozen fish, other than such landings by NI Registered vessels to Castletownbere, Killybegs, Rosamhil or Howth, and in the case of Castletownbere or Killybegs also by EFTA vessels. The modality of authorisations of such landings is broadened, and in the case of denied landings the applicability of statutory notice with inherent right of appeal is also clarified. Additionally, for freight consignments of fishery products entering the EU through an Irish Border Control Post (BCP) the ability of the Sea Fisheries Protection Authority to make an administrative decision to accept shorter notification periods is clarified, as is the authorisation of BCP officers to implement certain regulations of this instrument. 1 O.J.
