PRODUCT STANDARDS
Directive 91 Annexure 493laid down the rules for product and production
standards.
The focus is on production related safety aspects of shrimp products from
developing nations to European Union.
The major issues regarding safety norms of fishery products like frozen and non-
frozen shrimps is the presence of harmful microbes and presence of chemicals in
quantity which may render the product harmful for human consumption.
1. Condi t ions c oncern ing paras ites:During production and before they are
released for human consumption, fish and fish (shrimp) products must be
subject to a visual inspection for the purpose of detecting and removing anyparasites that are visible.
2. Cond it ions con cerning freezing temperature:The frozen shrimps are to be
maintained at a temperature of not more than -200C. in all parts of the
product for not less than 24 hours. Products subjected to this freezing process
must be either raw or finished.
3. In accordance of Cou nc il Regulatio n (EEC) no 103/76(last amended in
2006) the fishery products must undergo certain critical checks. Organoleptic
contents inspection in the shrimp is thus a critical standard
4. Art ic le 15under this directive also laid down the norm forparasitic content
checksin the fishery (shrimp) product.
5. Chemical content analysisis also a necessary parameter laid down by this
directive. Wherein samples are to be tested for controlling the level of certain
chemical components like:
TVB-N (Total Volatile Basic Nitrogen) and TMA-N (Trimethylamine-Nitrogen)
Histamine : the mean value must not exceed 100 ppm
6. Art ic le 15is also concerned with the concentration of contaminants in the
waterin which the shrimps are cultured.
Imported shrimps must not contain in their edible parts contaminants present in the
aquatic environment such as heavy metals and organo-chlorinated substances at
such a level that the calculated dietary intake exceeds the acceptable daily or weekly
intake for humans.

EU import conditions for seafood and other fishery
products
The European Commissions Directorate-General for Health and Consumers
(SANCO) is responsible for food safety in the European Union. Our import rules forfishery products and shellfish (bivalve molluscs) seek to guarantee that all
imports fulfil the same high standards as products from the EU Member States -
with respect to hygiene and consumer safety and, if relevant, also to the animal
health status. To ensure that imports can take place smoothly and efficiently,
interested countries and businesses should understand the fundamental principles
and philosophy of the European Food Law, which form the basis for our import rules.
Principles of the European Food Law
Our citizens have legitimate, high expectations regarding the safety and quality of
their food. To meet these expectations, the food law of the European Union
implements the principle of quality management and process-oriented controls
throughout the food chain - from the fishing vessel or aquaculture farm to the
consumers table. Spot checks on the end product alone would not provide the same
level of safety, quality and transparency to the consumer. To implement these
harmonised principles, the Food and Veterinary Office of the European Commission
is undertaking missions in all exporting countries.
General Rules for Fishery Products
Imports of fishery products into the European Union are subject to official
certification, which is based on the recognition of the competent authority of the non-
EU country by the European Commission. This formal recognition of the reliability of
the competent authority is a pre-requisite for the country to be eligible and authorized
to export to the European Union. Public authorities with the necessary legal powers
and resources must ensure credible inspection and controls throughout the
production chain, which cover all relevant aspects of hygiene, public health and, in
the case of aquaculture products, also animal health. All bilateral negotiations and
other relevant dialogue concerning imports of fishery products must be undertaken
by the national competent authority. All other interested parties and private
businesses wishing to export to the EU should contact their competent authority andcommunicate with the European Union via this channel.
Specific Key Elements
For all fishery products, countries of origin must be on a positive list of eligible
countries for the relevant product. The eligibility criteria are:
Exporting countries must have a competent authority which is responsible for
official controls throughout the production chain. The Authorities must beempowered, structured and resourced to implement effective inspection and
-
8/10/2019 EUROPEAN COUNTRIES Eid Project
7/14
guarantee credible public health and animal health attestations in the certificate to
accompany fishery products that are destined for the EU.
Live fish, their eggs and gametes intended for breeding and live bivalve molluscs
must fulfil the relevant animal health standards. This requires that the veterinaryservices must ensure effective enforcement of all necessary health controls and
monitoring programmes.
The national authorities must also guarantee that the relevant hygiene and public
health requirements are met. The hygiene legislation containsspecific requirements
on the structure of vessels, landing sites, processingestablishments and on
operational processes, freezing and storage. Theseprovisions are aimed at ensuring
high standards and at preventing anycontamination of the product during
processing.
Specific conditions apply for imports of live or processed bivalve molluscs (e.g.
mussels and clams), echinoderms (e.g. sea urchins) or marine gastropods (e.g. sea-
snails and conchs). These imports are only permitted if they come from approved
and listed production areas. The national authorities of exporting countries are
required to give guarantees on the classification of these products and the close
monitoring of the production zones to exclude contamination with certain marine
biotoxins causing shellfish poisoning.
In the case of aquaculture products, a control plan on heavy metals,contaminants, residues of pesticides and veterinary drugs must be inplace to
verify compliance with EU requirements.
A suitable control plan must be designed by thecompetent authority and submitted
to the European Commission for initial approval and yearly renewal.
Imports are only authorised from approved vessels and establishments (e.g.
processing plants, freezer or factory vessels, cold stores), which havebeen
inspected by the competent authority of the exporting country andfound to meet EU
requirements. The authority provides the necessaryguarantees and is obliged to
carry out regular inspections and take correctiveaction, if necessary. A list of such
approved establishments is maintained bythe European Commission and is
published on its website.
Inspections by the Commissions Food and Veterinary Off ice are necessary to
confirm compliance with the above requirements. Such an inspection mission is the
basis of establishing confidence between the EU Commission and the competent
authority of the exporting country.

Border Inspection
Imports of fishery products from non-EU countries must enter the EU via an
approved Border Inspection Post under the authority of an official veterinarian. Each
consignment is subject to a systematic documentary check, identity check and, as
appropriate, a physical check. The frequency of physical checks depends on the riskprofile of the product and also on the results of previous checks. Consignments
which are found not to be compliant with Community (EU) legislation shall either be
destroyed or, under certain conditions, re dispatched within 60 days.
For information on personal imports, see:
http://ec.europa.eu/food/animal/animalproducts/personal_imports/index_en.htm
Training and Technical Assistance
The European Commission provides training, technical assistance and facilities for
institutional capacity building to help developing countries comply with EU rules. For
example, DG SANCO's Better Training for Safer Food initiative runs training for
official control staff of developing countries on EU standards for fishery and
aquaculture products. The training is aimed at broadening knowledge of EU
standards in these countries thereby improving levels of compliance. This helps to
ease developing countries' access to the EU market for their fishery products.
Additional, national and regional development programmes of the European Union
are available in individual countries, as well as bilateral aid projects of the Member
States. The delegations of the European Union can provide detailed information on
these programmes.
What are the formal steps towards approval for imports?
The EU has designed a procedure for the evaluation of the eligibility of third
countries for exporting fishery products to the EU.
1. The national authority of a third country must submit a formal request to the
Directorate-General for Health and Consumer Protection of the European
Commission to export fish, fishery products or bivalve molluscs to the EU. The
request should contain confirmation that the authority can fulfil all relevant
legal provisions to satisfy EU requirements.
2. The Directorate-General for Health and Consumer Protection sends out a
questionnaire which should be completed and returned. Information on
relevant legislation, competent authorities, hygiene and many other elements
are requested.
3. For aquaculture products, a residue monitoring plan of the exporting country

must also be submitted and approved at this stage.
4. After the evaluation of the paper submission, an inspection by the Food and
Veterinary Office may be carried out to assess the situation on the spot. Such
an inspection is mandatory for high-risk products like shellfish.
5. Based on the results of the evaluation / inspection, and the guarantees given
by the exporting country, the Directorate-General for Health and Consumer
Protection proposes the listing of the country, the specific conditions under
which imports from that country will be authorised and the list of approved
establishments in the country. These are then discussed with representatives
of all EU Member States.
6. If the Member States have a favourable opinion on the proposal, the European
Commission adopts the specific import conditions. Lists of eligible
establishments can be amended at the request of the exporting country and
are made available for the public on the internet:
http://ec.europa.eu/food/food/biosafety/establishments/third_country/index_en.htm
PACKAGING REQUIREMENTS Packaging of fishery products have drawn WTOs attention way early in 1990.
Thus the Export Packaging Note No. 36was developed and is adopted and
under implementation in EU.

QUALITY MANAGEMENT FOR EXPORTS: HARVESTING
Has to be harvested in good condition within a short period of time.
Harvesting technique should not damage or excessively contaminate the
shrimp with waste.
Rapid harvesting will reduces risk of bacterial contamination and the shrimp
will still be fresh when reaching the processor.
Complete harvesting can be carried out by draining the pond water through a
bag net and hand picking.
The average culture period required is around 120-150 days during which
time the prawns will grow to 20-30 gm size (depending on the species).
