Descripción
internationally recognized best practices for safe and wholesome food, the BIPM promotes the recommendations of the Codex Alimentarius Commission and the UN FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries. The guide provides countries and regional trade organizations such as COMESA, SADC, IGAD and EAC with information to strengthen policy, procedures and practices and promote more free and fair regional trade in fish and fishery products. Available in both French and English, it is intended for fi sheries inspectors working at border posts, as well as for anyone else involved in fish, food and trade such as environmental health departments, extension workers, local authorities and the private sector. For the latter, the guide helps understand what is expected when trading fish across national borders. The guide has been informed by international food safety standards and aspects of MCS, which is traditionally a fisheries resource management tool, but has been adapted to the trade arena.
