Abstract

The Community has signed the Agreement on the International Dolphin Conservation Programme (AIDCP). In 1999 the Contracting Parties to the AIDCP decided to establish a system intended to track and verify tuna caught in the Agreement’s area of application. The purpose of this system is to enable dolphin-safe tuna to be distinguished from non-dolphin-safe tuna from the time it is caught to the time it is ready for retail sale. “Dolphin-safe tuna” means tuna captured in sets in which there is no mortality or serious injury of dolphins.
