This Order amends the Fisheries Act 1981 in its application to the tunnel system. The effect is that a levy can be imposed by the Sea Fish Industry Authority on fish or fish products which are brought through the Channel Tunnel, in the same way as the levy imposed pursuant to section 4 of that Act on fish and fish products which are landed in the United Kingdom.
"the appropriate Minister" is defined in section 13(1).
