Uncover the essentials of the Common Fisheries Policy and Revised Control Regulation (CFP) with our position paper. The purpose of this paper is to guide companies in how to efficiently address the challenges posed by the regulation through the use of GS1 standards and services. The regulation places emphasis on enhancing control within the supply chain. Fishery and aquaculture products covered by the regulation must be traceable at every stage, from catching or harvesting to retail sale. To achieve this, products are organized into identifiable lots, which operators throughout the supply chain must maintain detailed records and information about.

At a glance<\/h2>

The Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) was originally part of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) but has since become a separate policy. Its goals include increasing productivity, stabilizing markets, providing healthy food, and ensuring reasonable prices for consumers. The Revised EU Fisheries Control Regulation modernizes control measures for fishing activities within EU waters. Its objective is to prevent overfishing. Key changes to the regulation include adopting digital technology, requiring mandatory catch recording and reporting, and ensuring digital traceability for all products.<\/p>\n
