——€100,000 for contraventions involving illegal nets or other equipment, or €35,000 for other contraventions such as logbook offences. In my view this represents a reasonable increase on the level which was put in place in 1994. The fine proposed for fishing without a sea fishing boat licence has been increased from the level of €12,700, or £10,000, set in 1983 to €100,000.
