On October 22, 2001 the European Commission adopted a regulation requiring
more detailed consumer information on fisheries and aqauculture products.
>From 1 January of next year, all fisheries products on sale at retailers
will have to be appropriately labelled with the following information:
- the commercial name of the species
- the production methods, whether the product come from wild fisheries or
aquaculture and
- the area where the fish was caught.
Details on the regulation are available at:
