The EU commission has passed a motion to increase the number of shipments of Indian aquaculture products stopped for checks at the borders. Its previous measure stated that at least 10% of consignments from India intended for human consumption were to be tested for the presence of “pharmacologically active substances” — this has now been raised to 50%. “In cases when a consignment consists of aquaculture products from more than one establishment of origin, samples shall be taken for each individual establishment,” the decision stated. Results of analytical tests undertaken by offical control laboratories demonstrate that Indian exporters’ level of compliance with residue controls is unsatisfactory, the commission said. “To date, the recommendations from the inspection report concerning official monitoring of aquaculture farms have not been satisfactorily addressed.”
