ECsafeSEAFOOD Policy Workshop: New Date Announced
![](/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.
The event organisers apologise for any inconvenience caused by the postponing of the original policy workshop scheduled to take place in November due to the exceptional security events in Brussels.
Workshop format:
The workshop will consist of presentations and breakout 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
