MAD COWS? NOT IN THE SEA
There are no mad cows in the sea But fisheries products must be marketed : • With safety • With quality control • With traceability
Fisheries Production: characteristics what makes it different • Two fields of activity: • Extractive fishery • Aquaculture • Great diversity of commercial species
Development of global fisheries market • Increase: number of species and volume. • Production: 130 million tons / 29% aquaculture. • 90% of marketed products: handled, processed, transformed. • EU markets 1000 different species. • USA market 700 species. • And Spain approximately 800…
Shadow of a doubt Although Europeisa food safety zone, we encountered: • “mad cows” • dioxines • anisakis • avian influenza…
The consumer • Security: supply and sanitary conditions • Easy preparation • New products and presentations • Information • Environmental impact • Animal health and welfare • QUALITY
Quality criteria • Food safety • Organoleptic features • Classification • Nutritional quality • Quality brands • Consumer preference • Production respecting the environment • Quality assurance: ISO and HACCP • Price
EU LEGISLATION SOURCES 1.- Minimum compulsory sanitary conditions FOOD SAFETY 2.- Minumum commercial conditions COMMON MARKETORGANIZATION

¿What is traceability? “The ability to trace and follow a food, feed, food-producing animal or substance intended to be, or expected to be incorporated into a food or feed,through all stages of production, processingand distribution.”
Whereas 28 and 29 • … it is necessaryto establisha coprehensive system of traceabilitywithin food or feed companies…. • … food or feed companies can identify at leastthe bussines from which the food, feed...has been supplied … to ensure that traceability can be assured at all stages.
Article 18 • Identify from who and to whom the product has been supplied • Put to practice systems and procedures…information available to CA • “one step back”-”one step forward” • No need to identify a buyer when he is a final consumer
Approach to traceability in the auction • Same species • Same zone of fishing • Same boat • Same freshness • Same size • LABELLING
Approach to traceability in aquaculture • Specimens:location and movementsin exploitation • Feeding: details on used feed • Treatment: veterinary medicines • Identification:suppliers and clients
Critical point: distribution • Central markets • Platforms of distribution • Importers
Traceability in retail • Information about supplier • Information about product: - Commercial and scientific denomination - Method of production - Name of the zone of capture or breeding - Net weight - Manner of presentationand/or treatment - Identification of first dispatcher or centre of dispatch
Conclusions • In order to ensure the respective conditions of quality for the consumer, it is necessary: • Fulfillment of thehygienic-sanitary normsin: • Process of production and handling of products • The establishments • Fulfillment of marketing norms: • Normalization. • Labelling and traceability.
