Framework

Regulation (EU) 1379/2013, of 11 December, which establishes the common organization of the markets in fishery and aquaculture products provides, in Article 35 (1), that fishery and aquaculture products with Combined Nomenclature codes 0301 to 0307 and 12122000 can only be offered for sale to the final consumer or to a catering establishment if an appropriate marking or labeling indicates certain mandatory information, highlighting the species' trade name and its scientific name.

In accordance with article 37 of the same Regulation, Portugal has established a list of the commercial names authorized in its territory for the fishery and aquaculture products mentioned above, in which, for each species, the scientific name is indicated, the most used commercial name and, in most cases, another name also used locally or regionally.

  2. Appendix II of Ordinance No. 587/2006, of 22 June, contains the trade names authorized in the Autonomous Regions of the Azores and Madeira.
