Draft Regulation regarding the indication of the country of origin for fresh, chilled, and frozen meat of fish and other marine products

The Regulation puts forward requirements that fish and other marine products that are intended for supplying to the end consumers or to mass caterers shall contain information regarding the Member State of the EEA Area or the third country in which fisheries or aquaculture take place. This information shall be provided with the following: "Origin: (name of Member State or third country)."
