Abstract

These Guidelines, issued by the Norwegian Food Safety Authority, lay down the criteria for postponing or shortening the fallowing period in the aquaculture industry due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Businesses requesting a temporary exemption from Section 40 of Decree No. 822 of 2008 setting a 2 months fallowing period, shall document (i) lack of available resources, (ii) that all reasonable attempts to comply with the regulations have been made, and that (iii) available measures have been implemented to compensate for any consequences of not following the current rules.
