Workshop: Science Supporting Policy for the Safety of European Seafood
![](/icons/wire.jpg)
The aim of this workshop is to gain better insights into actions and steps that ECsafeSEAFOOD can take considering the project results on non-regulated contaminants of emerging concern for the implementation of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) – Descriptor 9 (Contaminants in fish and seafood for human consumption) and Descriptor 10 (Marine litter).
This event is targeted towards EC and other policy and decision makers involved in MSFD.
Workshop format:
The workshop will consist of presentations and break-out sessions, thereby enabling fruitful discussions and exchanges. Participation will be limited to ensure optimal networking and exchange between participants.
Expected output of the workshop:
• Gain insight into the steps and actions ECsafeSEAFOOD should take to allow ECsafeSEAFOOD’s results to be used for the implementation of MSFD and any other relevant policy
• Strengthen the role of science in supporting safe seafood policy and establish robust communication channels between science and relevant policy makers
