New EU regulations to stop illegal fishing take effect on 8 January, with the UK Fish Export Service updating its system and the Marine Management Organisation offering extensive support. The regulations require exporters to provide new information for traceability and to combat illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing. The Fish Export Service will be unavailable from 5 pm on 8 January for a short period while the system is upgraded. MMO, supported by the UK Fish Market Council, will run an extended helpline from 8 pm on 8 January, with 24/7 advice for exporters, processors, transporters, and fishers. Standard helpline hours remain 8 am to 6 pm Monday to Friday. The UK Single Logistics Office will also operate extended hours to assist with verification requests.
