Other Media | EuropaAzul: EESC supports measures against unsustainable fishing practices

EUROPEAN UNION
Thursday, January 23, 2025

The European Economic and Social Committee supports the European Commission's measures against unsustainable fishing practices in third countries. It is known that 70% of fishery products consumed in Europe come from third countries, so the aim is also to protect the Community market from fishery products obtained through unsustainable practices.
 
The opinion calls for the geographical extension of the measures, requesting that the revised rules not be limited to the North-East Atlantic, but also include Mediterranean waters and international zones.

Other Media | aqua.cl: Chilean salmon conquers the US with the FDA's 'healthy' seal

CHILE
Thursday, January 23, 2025

Chilean salmon, recognized worldwide for its quality and flavor, received an important validation a few days ago from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This agency, known for its strict standards, approved the labeling of Chilean salmon with the qualification of "healthy", a distinctive that promises to increase its visibility and attractiveness in the North American market.
 
This is an important milestone for Chilean salmon, since labeling a product as healthy not only reflects its nutritional benefits, but also guarantees consumers that they are acquiring high-quality salmon, complying with the strictest and most rigorous standards of health, safety and well-being before being consumed.

Other Media | Fish Farmer: Bakkafrost extends sponsorship of national football team

FAROE ISLANDS
Thursday, January 23, 2025

Salmon farming company Bakkafrost has agreed to continue its sponsorship of the Faroese men’s national football team.

Bakkafrost has not given a financial figure but said the support will continue for the next four years.

Bakkafrost has been a long-term supporter of the Faroese national team, which is seen as one of the minnows in international soccer although it occasionally springs surprises.

However, the choice of players is very limited as the population of the Faroe Islands is only 57,000, the size of a town like Weymouth in the UK.

IN BRIEF - Russian expert advises against buying frozen cod liver

RUSSIAN FEDERATION
Thursday, January 23, 2025

When choosing cod liver, experts recommend paying attention to several facts. 

For example, where the canned food was produced and what is in its composition - chilled or frozen raw materials, says consumer goods quality specialist Marina Kovalchuk.

“If you see that the raw material has been frozen, it’s better to put that jar aside,” she advises .

According to her, liver from chilled raw materials will have a more delicate taste and will not be bitter.

Another important point is the region of production. It is better to choose those canned goods that were produced directly in the regions where cod is caught, for example in Murmansk or Arkhangelsk. According to Marina Kovalchuk, such products are of high quality, so it is important that the place of production coincides with the region of catch.

But the names "cod liver Murmansk style" or "Scandinavian style" should be treated with caution. According to Marina Kovalchuk, often these inscriptions hide pates or canned goods with added milk.

This information was confirmed to Veterinary Science and Life by the National Center for Fish and Agricultural Safety (FSBI NTSBRP Rosselkhoznadzor). Last year, the center's laboratory examined 95 samples of canned cod liver. Of these, 13 samples did not meet quality and safety requirements. Instead of cod liver, salmon milt and heavy metals (arsenic) were found in the cans. In addition, discrepancies in organoleptic indicators were found.

Other Media | Ind Pesqueras: Ecuador's CNP contradicts Anfaco - After the first allocation of autonomous tariff quotas granted by the E U

SPAIN
Wednesday, January 22, 2025

After the first allocation of autonomous tariff quotas granted by the European Community, Anfaco-Cecopesca regretted that the amount allocated to tuna loins was insufficient and was exhausted, and stated that this forced the factories to pay an 8.04% tariff, making the process more expensive and compromising the price of canned fish. In this regard, it insisted on the need to increase the quantity for this product to 55,000 tons.
 
According to the president of the National Fisheries Chamber (CNP) of Ecuador, Bruno Leone, the request by Anfaco-Cecopesca is "unacceptable" and he urges that the quota mechanism be eliminated in the European Community.
