There are four relevant EC Directives in this connection. Statutory instruments to give effect to the requirements of these Directives are currently in preparation. Administrative arrangements have been put in place in the meantime to give practical effect to the requirements of the Directives.
The four Directives are:
(1) Council Directive No. 91/67/EEC concerning the animal health conditions governing the placing on the market of aquaculture animals and products
(2) Council Directive No. 91/492/EEC laying down the health conditions for the production and the placing on the market of live bivalve molluscs
(3) Council Directive No. 91/493/EEC laying down the health conditions for the production and the placing on the market of fishery products
(4) Council Directive No. 92/48/EEC laying down the minimum hygiene rules applicable to fishery products caught on board certain vessels in accordance with Article 3 (1) (a) (i) of Directive 91/493/EEC
