This PAS gives recommendations for exercising due diligence in relation to Council Regulation (EC) No 1005/2008 establishing a Community system to prevent, deter and eliminate IUU fishing [1] (“EU IUU Regulation”), and to ensure robust traceability and decent working conditions in the seafood industry.

This PAS gives recommendations on the following.

  1. What are the considerations within a due diligence system in order to minimize the risk of IUU fish/ seafood in the supply chain?

  2. What needs to exist to assure decent conditions at work in the seafood sector?

  3. What traceability systems are used to deliver the ability to verify claims?

This PAS covers those seafood products affected by the EU IUU Regulation [1], a list of which is given in Annex 1 of the Regulation [2]. In addition to those products listed in the Annex of the EU IUU Regulation [1], this PAS applies to all aquatic ingredients used in seafood or products sold into the retail, food service or any other sector that contain aquatic items (e.g. pharmaceuticals, pet food).

This PAS is for use by importers and processors (referred to as “organizations” throughout this PAS) that have an obligation to meet the requirements of the EU IUU Regulation [1], which includes the supply chains of seafood imported into and subsequently sold in the EU. This PAS can be of interest to any other organization involved in the seafood supply chain interested in improving or promoting legal sourcing practices, full chain traceability and decent work conditions (e.g. ILO Convention C188 for fishing vessels [12]).

This PAS can also be used by organizations trading products not covered by the EU IUU Regulation [1] such as marine ingredients, pet food, etc.

This PAS is of interest to competent authorities and other entities (such as NGOs, industry associations and certification bodies) where it can provide a benchmark for developing a due diligence system and provide information on the expectations of processors and importers.

NOTE Annex 1 of the EU IUU Regulation [1] was most recently amended by Commission Regulation (EU) No 202/2011 of 1 March 2011 [2].
