European Commission proposes hazard controls for farmed fish

摘要

The European Commission last week proposed an overhaul of aquaculture rules that would bring in hazard controls throughout the production chain. The commission wants the European Union to focus on prevention. "Disease outbreaks undermine consumers' confidence in the safety and wholesomeness of farmed fish and shellfish," said European Health and Consumer Protection Commissioner Markos Kyprianou. "Prevention is the best cure, and that is what our legislation aims at."
