The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs held a press conference on the 29th to introduce the "China Fishery Policy Liangjian" fishery policy enforcement work.
A reporter asked at the meeting: A new action has been added to the "China Fishery Administration Liangjian 2021" plan, namely a special law enforcement action on the regulated use of inputs for aquaculture. What is the consideration of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs?
How do you plan to carry out this action?
"People who like to eat fish and those who are going to eat fish are very concerned about the whole country. The quality and safety of aquatic products is an important concern of our industry. We must not only provide high-quality aquatic products, but also provide aquatic products that everyone can rest assured This is our responsibility." Liu Xinzhong said that an important factor affecting the quality and safety of aquatic products is the inputs used in aquaculture, including veterinary drugs, feed and feed additives. The supervision of the production, operation and use of these products is related to the supervision of aquatic products. Quality safety and the safety of the ecological environment of the waters are related to the vital interests of the broad masses of people.
Liu Xinzhong emphasized that the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has always attached great importance to the supervision of inputs used in aquatic product breeding and continued to crack down on related illegal activities. The quality and safety of aquatic products has also been maintained at a relatively high or very high level.
"However, in recent years, some companies have deliberately circumvented supervision and mixed fish and fish in the name of so-called "non-pharmaceuticals" and "water quality improvers", and produced and sold fake and inferior inputs to farmers. This has caused hidden dangers in quality and ecological safety and threatened them. To the interests of the fishermen and the health of consumers. It is imperative to rectify this behavior."
The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs requires agricultural and rural departments at all levels and law enforcement agencies to first improve their political positions, take the initiative to perform their duties, formulate plans carefully, clarify the division of responsibilities, strengthen departmental collaboration, and ensure that law enforcement actions are effective. It is also necessary to strengthen legal education and training, extensive publicity and guidance, and extensively carry out laws and regulations such as the Fisheries Law, the Veterinary Drug Administration Regulations, and the Feed and Feed Additives, as well as the standardized use of aquaculture drugs, through the holding of training courses, posters, and distribution of promotional materials Knowledge propaganda allows the people to understand what can be used, what cannot be used, what is safe, and what is insecure. Strengthen law enforcement inspections, highlight the key points of law enforcement, strictly investigate major and important cases, and issue guidance cases, so as to investigate and punish one, educate one, and deter one side. At the same time, we will unblock reporting channels, give full play to the role of social supervision, and build a good rectification pattern with strict control by the responsible departments and extensive public participation, so that everyone can eat with peace of mind.
