Brown shrimp (Crangon crangon)
The Conformity Assessment Body, Food Certification International Ltd, are requesting any new information which may have arisen on the CVO Dutch North Sea brown shrimp fishery, since the original site visit.

Please refer to the announcement in the assessment downloads section for further details.

The fishery is subject to control under EU, national and local primary and secondary legislation. Within Territorial limits (out to 3 or 6 nautical miles) the fishery is typically subject to one form or another of inshore fisheries management, and subject to local management, control and inspection. Beyond Territorial limits, the fishery is subject to national legislation and control and inspection by the relvant national inspectorate.
The core area of the shrimp (Crangon crangon) fishery is the Wadden Sea - an area listed as a European Marine Protected Area, a provision that falls under the Bird and Habitat Directive of the EU.
Within the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) the fishery is not considered a pressure stock fishery and is not subject to management by TAC. It is however, the subject of ongoing scrutiny for stock assessment and management purposes, and such work is coordinated through a fishery specific ICES working group.
Most elements of the shrimp fleet are subject to control through a number of local professional organisations and, for those also fishing quota species, through membership of relevant Fish Producer Organisations.
In 20120 landings were 16,684 t
Mostly EU.
The assessment process is expected to take approximately 19 months. Please see the download section for a detailed assessment timeline.
The target eligibility date for this fishery is the 1st of March 2009.
The MSC ecolabel can only be applied to product from certified fisheries. The MSC program does allow, in certain circumstances and within strict traceability requirements, the MSC ecolabel to be applied following certification to product caught before the actual date of certification. The target eligibility date therefore represents the date from which products may become eligible to carry the MSC ecolabel, however they cannot be sold until and if the fishery is certified. The actual eligibility date will be determined if the fishery is certified to the MSC standard.
To find out more about when fish from this fishery may be sold with the MSC ecolabel, please follow this link (http://www.msc.org/get-certified/supply-chain/eligibility-dates).
