Impact Study E.C. Health & Hygiene Regulations

Summary

Forthcoming EC Regulations on public health standards will have a considerable impact on the UK fish industry especially in the onshore sectors, of coastal fish markets, processing, transportation and wholesalers. Special provisions will be introduced for molluscan shellfish. The tone of the standards is set out in a series of drafts of which the latest is Regulation VI/3204/89 – EN Rev 1 but the details may eventually be published in the form of codes of practice or guidelines. However enough information exists to make some broad assumptions about the extent of upgrading which will be necessary. This report has been produced from a scanned original and may therefore contain some formatting and other inaccuracies. In cases where this affects the technical content, a paper copy of the original report can still be obtained from Seafish.
