Commentary on provisions of Act Schedule 3: Sea fishing licences: Further provision Duty to comply with request of another sea fish licensing authority
Paragraphs 4(1) and (2) give a sea fish licensing authority the power to request another sea fishing licensing authority to exercise its licensing functions in such a way that any licences or licence conditions it grants are made subject to the conditions imposed by the requesting sea fish licensing authority, where that authority has imposed limits or conditions in respect of a particular area. The purpose of this provision is that one sea fish licensing authority can ask another authority not to undermine its licensing decisions in respect of an area of water where boats licensed by different authorities may fish.
	Sub-paragraph (3) states that the requested authority must comply with the request unless it considers it unreasonable to do so.
	Sub-paragraph (4) sets out the areas within the jurisdiction of each sea fish licensing authority.
