The Panel has reached consensus on eight key recommendations. The recommendations address the following themes:
Minimum information standards for wild caught fish products
Authoritative data sources, including a global record of fishing vessels
A harmonized system of “landing authorizations” to provide primary assurances of the legal origin of fish products
Multiple points of verification throughout seafood supply chains
A transition to fully electronic traceability systems for all commercial fish products within the next five years
Support and capacity building for those producers needing help with the transition
A global architecture for interoperability of seafood traceability systems
Where applicable, non-discriminatory border measures setting minimum standards for seafood traceability and proof of legal origin to combat trade in IUU products while facilitating legitimate commerce through a “risk based, tiered, and targeted” approach.
A fuller statement of each of these recommendations is contained in the report.
