Workshop on certification, labelling and quality of EUROPEAN aquaculture produce
October 16, 2002
Stazione Marittima Congress Centre, Trieste, Italy


Organised in conjunction with the Aquaculture Europe 2002 Conference

Chair: James A Young (Dept. of Marketing, University of Stirling, Scotland)

This special workshop, which is mainly addressed to producers, is being supported by the European Commission Directorate General of Fisheries. The workshop will address the key issues related to the formulation, implementation and effectiveness of certification, labelling, quality marks and other legislative requirements. Internationally, these product-based communications have expanded considerably in aquatic foods over the recent past and it is increasingly important for the industry to respond positively to the challenges that they set.

This workshop will address the key concepts and the implications associated with these measures and will provide a forum to discuss and debate how these might be implemented to the best advantage of aquaculture producers
