The FVO contributed to a Better Training for Safer Food world training on fishery products in Indonesia organised by the European Commission. The major goal of this event was to outline the key hygiene and infrastructure conditions for fishery products for export to the EU market, the relevant legislation and what is expected from our third country export partners with regard to official controls and certification. The profile of the event got a major boost with the attendance of the new Indonesian Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, Susi Pudjiastuti, who delivered a key note speech on the Indonesian approach to Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing. The event was attended by delegates representing countries from Asia and the Pacific. This was therefore an ideal opportunity to present the role of the FVO and describe common compliance problems experienced by less developed countries in the export of fishery products to the EU. Key issues were highlighted and include maintenance of the cold chain and ensuring traceability. The FVO representative also took the opportunity to meet with senior TC officials, answering technical/legal questions and discussing planned and past audits to the region. This is a good example of how the experience and knowledge of the FVO can deliver a lot of added value through non-audit activities and promote European sanitary standards and facilitate trade.
