Catch Certification Program

Canada's Catch Certification Program was created in response to the European Union's Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated fishing regulation implemented January 1, 2010. It requires that fish exports to the EU are accompanied by a catch certificate issued in the country of origin.

Fisheries and Oceans Canada is responsible for the administration of Canada’s Catch Certification Program.
