Common Fisheries Policy (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (S.I. No. 739).

These Regulations make amendments to retained direct EU legislation in the field of the common fisheries policy of the European Union, which will automatically be transferred into UK law on exit day, by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, and will have the status of retained direct EU legislation . Technical operability changes made by this Instrument are necessary to ensure that the rules contained in the CFP continue to operate effectively, so that fishing within UK waters continues to be regulated in a sustainable manner. This instrument imposes the rules of the CFP on UK vessels wherever they are, subject to different rules stemming from international agreements, and on all vessels within UK waters. No substantive changes are made to the effect of the CFP and no change to the way in which fisheries conduct their activities is expected. Some functions which are currently carried out by the EU will be carried out by fisheries administrations.
