TBT Workshop: Eco-labelling schemes in the fish sector in Vanuatu and in the Pacific region

In November 2014 the TBT Programme together with the Pacific region launched a new project to assess the real potentials of the adoption of eco-labelling schemes in the fish sector in the Pacific region and thus provide advice and support to governmental and private sector institutions. The project, resulted from an original proposal submitted by the Government of Vanuatu through its Embassy in Brussels, aims to support the capacities of government and industry groups on aspects of the WTO TBT Agreement and in particular on how eco-labelling can assist them comply with international standards and facilitate market access of fish products. 

In the framework of this project, a workshop will be held from the 23rd until the 26th of February 2015 in Port Vila, Vanuatu, to present the recent developments and implementation of eco-labelling schemes in the fish sector in Vanuatu and in the Pacific region.
