Seafood transparency European Parliament event December 2025

On 9 December 2025, Oceana organised a successful event in the European Parliament with MEPs Paulo do Nascimento Cabral, Eric Sargiacomo and the SEARICA group, on the need for stronger EU seafood labelling and import controls. At the event, Oceana presented our latest report on the link between a lack of consumer information and the import of high-risk squid species, highlighting that half of the squid sampled in Milan and Brussels lacked consumer information; and 94% of these originated from distant waters. Oceana, EJF, an investigative journalist, a consumer organisation, and industry representatives came together to present and discuss evidence of these seafood labelling gaps in Europe, and to call for clearer, mandatory labels for all seafood products and more consistent implementation of import controls to ensure informed consumers and fair competition. A member of the cabinet of Commissioner Kadis and a representative of the Spanish authorities also spoke at the event.
