Prohibition on importing shellfish or specified fish into Great Britain from Third Countries
3.—(1) No person shall import into Great Britain from a third country any shellfish or specified fish except under the authority, and in accordance with the provisions, of a licence issued by the appropriate Minister.
(2) A licence may be either general or specific and may, in either case, be issued subject to such conditions as the appropriate Minister considers appropriate for the purpose of preventing the introduction or spreading of diseases of fish or shellfish into or within Great Britain.
(3) A general licence shall be issued by its publication in such manner and to such extent as appears to the appropriate Minister to be sufficient to bring it to the notice of those persons likely to be affected by it.
(4) The appropriate Minister may vary, revoke or suspend a licence—
(a)in the case of a general licence by a notice published, so far as practicable, in the same manner and to the same extent as the licence; and
(b)in the case of a specific licence by a notice served on the person to whom the licence was issued.
