    Dear Fransico

    The European Commission has established microbiological standards only for
    raw bivalve molluscs and for cooked crustacea and molluscan shellfish. They
    are laid down in:

    EC (European Commission) 1991a. Council Directive 91/492/EEC of 15 July 1991
    laying down the health conditions for the production and the placing on the
    market of live bivalve molluscs Official Journal of the European Communities
    L 268, 24/09/1991,. 0001-0014; &

    EC (European Commission) 1993. Commission Decision 93/51/EEC of 15 December
    1992 on the microbiological criteria applicable to the production of cooked
    crustaceans and molluscan shellfish. Official Journal of the European
    Communities L 013, 21/01/1993,. 0011-0013.

    I do not think they are available on the EU Internet site. Before using
    them, or other microbiological specifications/standards, I would strongly
    recommend you study section 13 in:

    Huss, H.H; Ababouch, L; Gram, L., Assessment and management of seafood
    safety and quality, FAO Fisheries Technical Paper. No. 444. Rome, FAO. 2003.
    This is available through the FAO Fishery Division Internet site.
