About this service
Description
Companies that buy fish or fisheries products manufactured by a fisher directly from the seaside fisherman must register with the register of first-sale fish buyers, which is maintained by the Economic Development Centre of Southwest Finland. The name and contact information as well as the personal or business ID of the natural or juristic person, who has registered as a first-sale fish buyer, are registered on the register of first-sale fish buyers. The information on the register is used for controlling fishing and the fish trade, for fulfilling the data collection requirement of the European Union’s Common Fisheries Policy as well as for statistical purposes. The operator registered in the register of first-sale buyers is obligated to notify the register authority of any changed details. The obligations of a first-sale buyer are prescribed in articles 56–68 of EU’s Control Regulation (1224/2009) and in an act regarding the penalty system and control (1188/2014).
