5. Order regarding the requirement for economic operators to ensure that consumers are informed about the freshness of fish

6. Fresh fish marketed to consumers

7. - Directive 2000/13/EC on the labelling, presentation and advertising of foodstuffs

8. The aim of the proposed legislation is to ensure a high level of consumer protection.

The proposal establishes the conditions that economic operators must meet to ensure that consumers are informed about the freshness of fish.
Economic operators shall be required to inform consumers by displaying the following information immediately next to the product so that they may make their choice based on correct information:
a) this fish was caught 0-2 days ago;
b) this fish was caught 2-3 days ago;
c) this fish was caught 3-4 days ago;
d) this fish was caught more than 5 days ago.
Key words: fresh fish

9. The draft is intended to ensure that consumers in Romania are better informed regarding how fresh products are marketed to them, in this case fish, as well as concerning the fact that the products offered to them do not affect their lives or their health.

Moreover, inspections by the staff of the National Authority for Consumer Protection (ANPC) have revealed that food products are being marketed in the fresh fish range that are not in fact fresh, thereby endangering the health of consumers using them.
At the same time, ANPC inspections have shown that many economic operators fail to inform consumers correctly, fully and precisely regarding the products being offered, thereby potentially misleading them.
Given the role of the ANPC in oversight and inspection and in ensuring that consumers are correctly informed, we feel that this legislation is necessary for consumer protection (natural persons).
