Fishing Boats (Satellite-Tracking Devices) (Wales) Scheme 2006 (W.S.I. No. 2799 (W.238) of 2006).

This Scheme makes provision for funding satellite-tracking devices on fishing boats which are administered in Wales. The devices are required on board fishing boats over 15 metres as a result of Commission Regulation (EC) No. 2244/2003 laying down detailed provisions regarding satellite-based Vessel Monitoring Systems. The Scheme, among other things: sets out the eligibility criteria for funding; deals with the approval of such applications; sets out the powers of an authorized officer and paragraph 7 requires any applicant or any employee of any applicant to assist an authorised officer.
