Unit 10 - International law of the sea

10.5. European Union Fish Labeling Requirements
The European Union introduced new labeling requirements for fishery products from 1 January 2002 specifying that all products (some processed products are excepted) shall carry labels that state production method (capture or farmed), catch area of wild species (FAO fishing area) and country of production in the case of farmed fish products, Latin name and commercial name. It can be studied whether India can adopt the same measure.
