28/04/2010 (Agence Europe) - On 23 April 2010, the European Commission unveiled a draft decision laying down rules for imports into the European Union of fisheries products, shellfish (live molluscs and bivalves) echinoderms, tunicates, marine gastropods and by-products thereof from Greenland. Greenland and the European Union intend to enter into a sanitary arrangement on fish, fishery products, bivalve molluscs, tunicates and echinoderms (live and not alive) for human consumption as well as by-products derived from these sources, like fish meal and fish oil. The objective of such an arrangement would be that Greenland can trade these commodities with the European Union on the basis of internal market rules, provided that Greenland transposes EU sanitary and, where appropriate, animal health rules on fishery products, live bivalve molluscs and by-products derived from these sources.
