It is noted that, according to the Fisheries Act, vessels may not be used for the purpose of fishing for fish in or outside territorial waters (for vessels flying the Cypriot flag) unless a fishing licence has been issued for them. Any person who uses a vessel for fishing in contravention of the Act is guilty of an offence and on conviction is liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding three years or a fine not exceeding €17,080 or to both penalties together.
It is recalled that all existing fishing licences expire on 31 December 2023.
