2?) On reforming the procedure for attracting labor migrants
3?) About the name of products during their production according to GOST, technical specifications (TU) and organization standards (STO)
4?) About changes in customs duties
5?) On measures of state support for domestic fish processing

Numerous NGOs have been pushing for regional fisheries management organizations (RFMOs) to adopt harvest strategies as a means of effectively managing seafood stocks, but even their fiercest advocates admit the path toward their adoption isn’t easy.
A harvest strategy is a method in which RFMOs and other fisheries managers develop predetermined actions that trigger when stock assessments, catch data, and return on effort – among other metrics – reach certain thresholds. In recent years, RFMOs have been adopting them because they help eliminate the political wrangling that would otherwise dilute scientific advice.

Ireland’s Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Charlie McConalogue, T.D., attended the EU Agriculture and Fisheries Council in Brussels earlier this week. The agenda included an initial exchange of views on the proposal for fishing opportunities in the Atlantic and the North Sea in 2024, 2025, and 2026.
The EU shares the majority of the commercial fish stocks in the Atlantic and North Sea with Third Countries such as the UK and Norway. The European Commission, on behalf of the EU, negotiates with Third Countries on the setting of fishing opportunities for shared stocks.
One week after the start of the emergency, 100% of this volume has already been withdrawn and sent to fishmeal production plants.
"Coordination has been more efficient than in previous contingencies," Sernapesca stated.
The National Fisheries and Aquaculture Service reported this Wednesday that the "contingency due to harmful algal blooms" that began a week ago in the Reloncaví Estuary, in the Los Lagos Region, left a balance of 1,500 tons of dead salmon.
Sernapesca explained that although the emergency affected nine farming centers, 60 percent of this mortality (890 tons) was concentrated in just one concession.
To date, in addition, all of the dead specimens have already been removed from the centers and transferred to reduction plants for the production of fishmeal: 95% to plants in Los Lagos and the remaining 5 percent to the Biobío Region.
At this time "a drop in the concentration levels of the microalgae Thalassiosira pseudonana has been recorded in the area", which allows the emergency to be considered over.
