Abstract/Summary

The EU’s increase in global demand for fish has given the Philippines’ aquaculture and fisheries an advantage for supplying their huge export markets. Conversely, the EU single market constitutes one of the biggest challenges in the Philippine aquaculture and fisheries export due to their Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures. By studying the EU’s sanitary policy on the country’s export of fisheries and aquaculture products, readers will get to analyze how it affects the Philippine fisheries and aquaculture export to EU and how their measures prompt policy changes in the industry. Data gathered through interviews with key informants, statistics from government agencies, recognized journals, institutional websites and other helpful documents show that there are a number of ways in which trade may be limited by the SPS. As a result, the policies and activities regarding the EU SPS, which build up the fishery industry as a whole, help increase competitiveness and development of trade policies. Also, market opportunities of the Philippines to export to EU remain open but the country has not fully maximized its opportunity. Hence, regulatory bodies need to lay greater attention to harnessing of capabilities to respond to SPS requirements by generating improved expertise in designing research protocols and risk evaluation that will please international needs.
