The Philippine is losing millions of dollars in potential revenue because its marine products are off limits to European consumers. Since January 1, the European Union (EU) imposed a mandatory scheme that allows only seafood that is not illegally caught, unreported and unregulated. "As of the moments, Filipinos exporters cannot sell fishery products to EU countries, the world's biggest fish market, without this catch certificate," said Jose Ingles who heads the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) Coral Triangle Network Initiative's Tuna Strategy program.
