Traceability and catch
information under current

Fisheries Control regulations
Regulation 1224/2009 establishing a control
system for ensuring compliance with the
CFP
Regulation 404/2011providing detailed rules
for implementation
supporting the UK seafood industry for a sustainable, profitable future
Existing Traceability
• Food Safety – one up/one down
• Fish hygiene – establishment number
• Current CMO – origin
• Fisheries Control – catch or harvest
information
supporting the UK seafood industry for a sustainable, profitable future
What is the traceability requirement ?
• Certain catch data must be ‘available’
throughout the supply chain
supporting the UK seafood industry for a sustainable, profitable future
Why?
• Fisheries control measure
• Extends buyers and sellers requirements
supporting the UK seafood industry for a sustainable, profitable future
• Applies to fisheries and aquaculture products
that fall under CN03
• Excludes:
– CN1604 and CN1605
– third country imports
– freshwater products
– direct sale from fishing vessel to consumer
Does this apply to everything?
supporting the UK seafood industry for a sustainable, profitable future
How is this intended to be done ?
• Products must be put into ‘lots’ before first sale
• A ‘lot’ is a quantity of fishery products or aquaculture
products of the same species coming from the same
area and fishing vessel or fishing vessels or fish farm
• ‘Lots’ must be provided with an identification number
• Information associated with a ‘lot’ shall remain available
at all stages of production
supporting the UK seafood industry for a sustainable, profitable future
How should information associated
with a ‘lot’ remain ‘available’ at all
stages of production?
• Lots can be merged but remain traceable
• By means of labelling or packaging
• By documentation accompanying it
• Electronically
supporting the UK seafood industry for a sustainable, profitable future
What information is associated with a ‘lot’?
• Lot ID
• Quantity
• Supplier
• Commercial name
• Scientific name
• Catch area
• Production method
• FAO alpha 3 code
• Name of fishing vessel or vessels
• Date of capture (landing)
• Whether previously frozen

area, division, sub-division, fishing effort zone
etc. as under buyers and sellers

multi-annual plan
• 1 January 2015 electronically for other fishery and
aquaculture products
• Electronic compatibility across Member States

• Fisheries control regulations being amended to
take into account new CMO regulation
• MMO are having to consider enforcement
