| | Product labelling for country of origin to ensure traceability, for quality and safety standards, organic production, and for environmental standards. Includes types of labelling programs, certification schemes, and trade and marketing issues. Ecolabelling (or environmental labelling) is a guide for consumers to choose products and services that cause less damage to the environment. Ecolabelling makes a positive statement that identifies products and services as less harmful to the environment than similar products or services used for a specific function. Ecolabelling is fundamentally different from the setting of minimum product standards or requirements. The key difference is that ecolabelling is intended to reward environmental leadership. | | | |

| | Author(s) / Editor(s) | Wessells, C. R. | | Description | Discussion of HACCP and eco-labelling implications for fisheries trade. This paper presents brief backgrounds on the Hazard Analysis of Critical Control Points (HACCP) programmes, which have been adopted by many developed nations to ensure a safe seafood supply, and on the recent trend toward use of eco-labels to indicate which fisheries products have environmentally-desirable properties. The final section of the paper will then focus on the potential of each of these programmes to create either inadvertent or blatant seafood trade barriers, and compare and contrast the effects of the programmes for developed versus developing nations. | | Keywords | TRADE; HACCP; ECO-LABELLING; NON-TARIFF TRADE BARRIER | |
