6 FAO Sub-Committee on Aquaculture (3rd Session, New Delhi, India, 2006) Expressed concern over the emergence of a wide range of certification schemes and their cost/benefit value recognized the need for globally accepted norms for aquaculture production to serve: as a basis for improved harmonization and to facilitate mutual recognition and equivalence of such certification schemes; Requested FAO to: convene Expert Workshop (s) and to play a lead role in facilitating the development of guidelines for certification in aquaculture

Minimum Substantive Criteria 7.1 Animal Health and Welfare 7.2 Food Safety and Quality 7.3 Environmental Integrity 7.4 Social Responsibility 8. INSTITUTIONAL AND PROCEDURAL REQUIREMENTS 8.1 Governance 8.2 Standards Setting 8.3 Accreditation 8.4 Certification 9. Implementation
9 1- Consistency with International Instruments Background ECG address a natural resource and define criteria to certify: its exploitation status and the related management regime The ACG deal with an aquatic animal production system and define criteria for farm inputs, facilities and practices to ensure: consumer protection, animal health and welfare, environmental integrity and social responsibility
10 1- Consistency with International instruments Recommendations of the Secretariat relevant international guidelines, codes and standards dealing with an array of different issues should be consulted and debated during the coming technical consultation: SPS and TBT agreements for definitions, scope and principles Codex texts should be used for specific definitions, criteria and certification respectively for food safety/quality OIE texts should be used for specific definitions, criteria and certification for animal health. ISEAL texts are relevant to environmental and social issues. Relevant ISO guides and standards are appropriate for the institutional and procedural requirements
11 2- Animal welfare or social responsibility Background Concern over theemergence of a wide range of certification schemes and accreditation bodies leading to confusion amongst producers and consumers The need for more globally accepted norms for aquaculture production, which could provide more guidance and serve as a basis for improved harmonization and facilitate mutual recognition and equivalence of such certification schemes; The consultative process concluded that all major aspects being certified by existing certification standards and schemes should be included in the guidelines on aquaculture certification social responsibility in fisheries and aquaculture is clearly outlined in the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries and its relevant technical guidelines.
12 2- Animal welfare or social responsibility Recommendations Careful consideration of the implications before limiting the criteria for the aquaculture certification guidelines; The secretariat advises members to consider the international debate on social responsibility and animal welfare, and decide whether it is sufficiently advanced to enable the up-coming technical consultation to discuss the issues and recommend whether animal welfare and social responsibility should be included in or exclude from the Aquaculture certification guidelines
13 3-Certification of all or some of the 4 areas? Background Various markets with varying requirements Certification required: by all markets and buyers for food safety, by many markets for animal health by few buyers for animal welfare or social responsibility
14 3-Certification of all or only some of the 4 areas Recommendations Members advised to consider flexibility to choose what criteria to be certified in line with the current practices in international fish trade; But the existing text should be modified to eliminate any confusion and to ensure that labels and claims cover the specific area(s) certified against and do not convey misleading or confusing information
15 4-special needs of small scale aquaculture or developing countries Background Particular provisions for technical assistance or special and differential treatments of developing countries are part of international instruments e.g. : SPS (Articles 9 and 10) and TBT (Articles 11 and 12) Agreements of the WTO FAO CCRF (Article 5 Special Requirements for Developing Countries) Guidelines for eco-labeling in marine capture fisheries (Paragraph 6)
16 4-special needs of small scale aquaculture or developing countries Recommendations Members are advised to capture the same idea and principles in the guidelines for aquaculture certification; If this is retained, the text should clarify: that technical assistance is not a pre-requisite for certification and that certification of an aquaculture product means conformity of the product and production process to the requirements of the guidelines, regardless of whether the operation is small or large scale in a developing or developed country
17 5-Core government functions and voluntary requirements Background Government prerogatives in areas like consumer and animal health protection National jurisdictions are expanding to areas like: eco-labeling or social responsibility How to ensure that government and private sector activities in standard setting and certification are: complementary and synergistic?
18 5-Core government functions and voluntary requirements Recommendations Members should clarify the roles of governments and that of private schemes and promote synergy; The TBT agreement provide a good framework. It delineates the role and responsibility of: Central governments, regional governments and non government organizations in charge of setting: standards technical regulations and conformity assessment procedures
19 6-Foodsafety only, or food safety and quality Background The ACG refer to the SPS and TBT agreements of the WTO These 2 agreements refer to the Codex Alimentarius Commissionas the international body which sets standards, codes of practice and guidelines for food safety and quality The Codex requirements for quality are minimum substantive criteria that reflect good practices along the aquaculture value chain, including during production
20 6-Foodsafety only, or food safety and quality Recommendation Members are advised to define criteria for safety and quality in the guidelines for aquaculture certification, so as to reflect good practices during aquaculture production, in conformity with Codex Implementation of Good practice would lead to a fair and level playing field among aquaculture producers
21 Lessons learned and future perspectives Objective: Standards and certification of commodities to facilitate market access and promote good practices. Have we achieve this? Standards and certification in the agenda of other organizations: World Trade Organization (WTO, SPS and TBT Committees) Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development(OECD) Organization Internationale des Epizooties (OIE) Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) International Standard organization (ISO, TC 234) WWF

32 Private standards at WTO (Summary) A new area for WTO since 2005 (SPS Committee) For some WTO members, the use of private standards to: encourage the use of responsible practices thus helping suppliers to improve quality and gain access to markets
33 Private standards at WTO Other WTO members question whether: private standards and certification schemes duplicate or complement government work (e.g. food safety, animal health) they improve sustainability, consumer and environmental protection or only add another cost of compliance they comply with the disciplines of the SPS and TBT Agreements (e.g. transparency, scientific basis,... How to define boundaries between public regulations on the one hand and private market standards on the other? What mechanism to use to challenge the use of private standards as TBT?
