Abstract

These Regulations provide for the execution and enforcement of Title 1, Chapter 2 of Council Regulation (EC) 104/2000 on the common organization of the markets in fishery and aquaculture products. Title 1 of Chapter 2 of Council Regulation (EC) 104/2000 imposes requirements regarding the provision of information about the commercial designation, production method and catch area of certain fishery and aquaculture products offered for retail sale to the final consumer. It further provides for member States to draw up and publish a list of commercial designations for at least the species listed in Annexes I to IV of the Regulation. Commission Regulation (EC) 2065/2001 describes in more detail the information to be provided to consumers and the exemptions that may be allowed. It also provides for the necessary information to be provided at each stage of the marketing process. These Regulations: provide a list of the commercial designations required to be drawn up by the United Kingdom (reg. 4 and the Schedule) and further provide for the granting of provisional commercial designations (reg. 8); make provision as to the relaxation of the requirements in certain circumstances in relation to information about the production method (reg. 5); in the case of direct sales of small quantities to consumers by fishermen or aquaculture producers (reg. 6) and with regard to the inclusion of additional information about catch area (reg. 7); create offences and prescribe penalties and specify the enforcement authority.
