IN BRIEF - ClientEarth loses appeal to EU Court on fisheries transparency

EUROPEAN UNION
Monday, September 09, 2024

The CJEU has ruled that Irish legislation criminalising breaches of fisheries controls is not incompatible with EU law. The Court of Justice of the European Union has dismissed ClientEarth's appeal for access to European Commission documents on fisheries control in France and Denmark.

The European Court of Justice will hear from Friends of the Irish Environment who claim there is an 'international obligation' to end overfishing by 2020 The Advocate General of the Court of Justice of the European Union has issued her opinion in Case C-330/22, the Irish overfishing case.

ClientEarth, a non-profit environmental law organisation, requested access to European Commission documents on the implementation of fisheries control measures in France and Denmark.

The case, C-249/23 P, arose from ClientEarth's request under Regulation (EU) No 1049/2001, which regulates public access to EU documents. ClientEarth requested information related to the application of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009, which ensures compliance with the European Union's fisheries policy.

IN BRIEF - Growing Concern in Japan Over Peruvian Giant Squid Supply

JAPAN
Tuesday, October 15, 2024

Tariffs on Peruvian giant squid (dosidicus gigas) may soon be halved due to contracting demand driven by excessively high prices.

This year's Peruvian giant squid catch, which is already in short supply, is expected to drop to around half of the usual average. As international demand grows, Japan's supply is shrinking, leading to rising domestic prices. Trading companies are increasingly concerned that local stocks may soon be depleted.

Information chart based on data from Suisan-Keizai

To mitigate this shortfall, squid traders are turning to Illex squid from Argentina as an alternative.

For decades, Japan dominated global squid fishing and supply, but it is now being outpaced by China's growing fleet and squid products processed in Zhoushan.

IN BRIEF - South Korean frozen pollock imports up 14% in September

SOUTH KOREA
Tuesday, October 15, 2024

In September, South Korea imported 17,127 tons of frozen pollack, marking a 14% increase compared to 14,964 tons in the same period last year.

From January to September, cumulative imports totaled 105,136 tons, marking a slight decline of 1% compared to 106,596 tons during the same period in 2023. Frozen pollock comprised approximately 16% of the total seafood imports, which reached 651,137 tons by the end of September.

Geographically, 99% of frozen pollock imports (103,720 tons) originated from Russia, while the United States contributed 1,289 tons and China 127 tons. Among these, China had the highest import price at USD 1.61/kg, followed by the U.S. at USD 1.25/kg, and Russia at USD 0.96/kg.

In September 2024, the import value of frozen pollock reached USD 16 million, reflecting a 12% increase from USD 14.27 million in September 2023. However, the cumulative import value from January to September saw a 10% decrease, totaling USD 101.09 million, down from USD 112.85 million the previous year. The average import price was USD 0.96/kg, a 9% decline from USD 1.06/kg in 2023. While the volume of frozen pollock imports is rising, the decreasing import prices and overall value are raising questions about future trends in the market.

For reference, wholesale distribution prices for frozen pollock in Korea are approximately KRW 39,500 for the Russian-origin (7-count) variety and around KRW 29,500 for the 8-count variety.
