Unser Ratgeber hilft Einzelhändlern und Unternehmen dabei, ihre Lieferketten frei von Produkten aus illegaler Fischerei zu halten. Er wurde gemeinsam mit WWF Deutschland und dem Waren-Verein der Hamburger Börse e. V. entwickelt und listet konkrete Maßnahmen, um die Risiken durch illegalen Fang einzuschätzen und abzumindern. Aktiv angewendet kann er die Maßnahmen von Unternehmen zum nachhaltigen Fischeinkauf praxisnah und kosteneffektiv stärken.

Die industrielle Fischereiflotte Ghanas ist durch chinesische Eigentümerstrukturen geprägt. Da die Fischerei in Ghana stark unter der illegalen Fischerei leidet, müssen die ghanaische und die chinesische Regierung zusammenarbeiten, um die weit verbreiteten illegalen Fischereipraktiken in Ghanas industrieller Fangflotte zu unterbinden und Auflagen gegen jene zu verhängen, die die Gesetze zu Eigentumsverhältnissen missachten.

This short paper provides highlights from the Report 'The Impact of the IUU Regulation on Seafood Trade Flows'

Description of the full report:
Ten years after the adoption of the EU IUU Regulation, this new report by EJF, Oceana, The Pew Charitable Trusts and WWF examines how the EU’s carding system has impacted the flow of seafood products into and within the EU.

It is the first detailed analysis to show that shifts in seafood import flows have occurred since 2010 that appear directly related to the IUU Regulation. The report focuses on ‘high risk’ trade flows to the EU, in terms of the likelihood that products were caught in contravention of applicable fisheries rules.

Contrary to previous analyses, the report shows that weaknesses in member state import controls and uneven standards could be providing a route for non-compliant products to enter the EU market.

Illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing is a major threat to livelihoods, food security and ocean health globally.

As the world’s largest import market for fish products, the European Union plays a pivotal role in reforming the global trade in fisheries products. This analysis charts the progress of the EU’s efforts to shut out illegal catch and end IUU fishing.

The Environmental Justice Foundation (EJF), Oceana, The Pew Charitable Trusts and WWF are working together to secure the harmonised and effective implementation of the EU Regulation to end illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing.

The report outlines an approach to prevent IUU fishery products from entering UK supply chains. It offers expert advice on risk assessment and risk mitigation, and encourages action to prevent IUU fishery products entering UK supply chains, which is costly on a number of levels.

Designing and implementing an effective IUU fishing due diligence process provides an opportunity for UK retailers and brands to support the global fight against IUU fishing, and help secure the future viability and health of global fisheries, while also reducing potential reputational and legal risks in seafood supply chains.
