Provide data on contaminants in commercially exploited fish

Hygiene Directives and to keep up to date a data base on
which local authorities can base their issue of export
certificates of compliance.
Key customer purpose:-
Provide returns to the European Commission demonstrating
compliance with the provisions of the community's Fish and
Shellfish Hygiene Directives and be able to inform shellfish
growers and fish producers whether their produce complies
with the limits set by the community. |
