These Regulations consolidate with amendments the Regulations implementing various EC Directives. Part I of the Regulations contains general provisions relating to citation, commencement and interpretation (regs. 1 and 2). Part II contains the provisions relating to the production and placing on the market of live shellfish. The Department has the power to designate certain areas as designated production areas for live bivalve molluscs; relaying areas (areas where live bivalve molluscs may be relaid after harvesting to remove contamination) are designated by district councils (reg. 3). The Department may also designate certain areas as prohibited areas for live shellfish production of various kinds (reg. 4), and district councils may make temporary prohibitions concerning layings (reg.7). Collecting shellfish from areas subject to a relevant prohibition is an offence (reg. 8). Part II also contains special requirements relating to the harvesting, transporting and relaying of live shellfish (reg. 9), and to the operation of dispatch and purification centres, which need to be approved by the local district council (regs. 10 to 13). There are also special rules for the variation and revocation of approvals of such centres (regs. 14 and 15). Part II also contains special rules for the wrapping, unwrapping, repackaging, storage and transportation of live shellfish (regs. 16 to 18), and detailed obligations relating to the placing on the market of live shellfish (reg. 19). Part III of the Regulations deals with the production and placing on the market of fishery products. There is a registration scheme for fishing vessels on board which shrimps and molluscs are cooked, there are hygiene rules for all fishing vessels, and there are special additional rules for certain longer range vessels (regs. 21 and 22). Factory vessels and establishments on land which are involved in the production of fishery products both have to be approved by the local district council (regs. 23 and 24), and their proprietors have to comply with various specified requirements (reg. 28). Part V deals with the inspection charges for third country direct landings (products landed from third country vessels which have or had not been on land prior to their importation into the European Community). Part VI contains more general provisions. These include provisions relating to the health control responsibilities of the Department and district councils (reg. 52), enforcement responsibilities (regs. 54 and 56), certification of shellfish and fishery products as failing to comply with food safety requirements, etc.
