Brussels, 28/09/2015 (Agence Europe) - Stakeholders are divided over the need for EU-wide ecolabelling for fisheries and aquaculture products.
That is what has come out of the public consultation on an EU ecolabel for fisheries and aquaculture products that ran between May and July 2015. In a press release, the Commission says that the vast majority of respondents believe that the EU and other public bodies could play a role in ecolabelling.
The Commission is currently reviewing the role that public authorities could play in this area. The consultation attracted 443 responses from 24 EU member states and 12 non-EU countries. (Original version in French by Lionel Changeur)
