The New Food Unit

Fiji is one of the three Pacific Island Countries who can export fish to the EU. This fish stock includes Tuna.
Fiji’s temporary arrangement with the EU on fish export expired on 31 October, 2007 based on the assessment of legislative requirements by EU’s Food and Veterinary Office (FVO).
In order to help Fiji start fish exports to the EU again, a Food Unit has been set-up by the cabinet that will be coined with the responsibility to facilitate compliance of the fish and the fisheries product ready for export with EU’s regulations.
The Food Unit will be established under the Ministry of Health’s Environmental section.
