11th EDF SANITARY AND PHYTOSANITARY MEASURES (SPS) PROJECT
The 11th EDF Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) Measures Project commenced February 2020 for 36 months. Project achievements including brochures, posters, manuals, reports, studies and videos are available on this page.
◼INFOGRAPHICS
The Caribbean Fisheries Food Safety Hub was launched on 29 March 2023. The Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA), in partnership with the Caribbean Regional Fisheries Mechanism (CRFM) developed the platform with funding from the European Union (EU) under the 11th European Development Fund (EDF) Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) Measures Project. The partners especially catered to the needs of fishers and fisher organizations, as well as aquaculture farmers, thereby expanding the reach of the project’s online platform to the agriculture, fisheries, and aquaculture sectors.
“At the European Union, we view our environmental and health ambitions – set in the EU’s Farm to Fork Strategy – as drivers for raising global standards through trade. Ensuring fisheries food safety is at the core of these standards, allowing not only for exports to the EU, but also within Caribbean countries. We therefore welcome the launch of the Fisheries Food Safety Hub which will serve as a learning platform for stakeholders and as a product of the longstanding partnership between the EU, IICA, and CRFM,” stated EU Ambassador, H.E. Malgorzata Wasilewska.
