This consultation started on 6th January 2009 and ends on 31st March 2009.
The key areas highlighted in this consultation are:
The evidence regarding the health benefits and safety of eating fish is established and has not been re-examined.The discussion of environmental concerns regarding the Agency's dietary advice on fish consumption.The proposal that the Agency should develop an 'information hub' within its dietary advice. This would offer links to other sources of information and advice to enable choices that take into account other aspects of sustainability. The emphasis would be on facilitating access to information rather than interpreting or duplicating it on the Agency's website.It is not the Agency's role to regulate the UK fishing industry or advise on its practices (other than in terms of the EU Food Hygiene Regulations), or offer a new definition of sustainability in relation to fish stocks.
Other Government departments, international bodies and stakeholders are already active in this area. The Agency wants to support and draw on their work, and not duplicate it.
