Description
Rue Joseph II, 99; 1000 Brussels
Room 05/SDR
10.00-16.00
- measurements of contamination in sea
- where are measuring stations?
- what are spatial and temporal trends in measurements?
- how is data obtained and from who?
- simulations of contaminant transport in Pacific (University of Toulouse)
- what are spatial and temporal trends?
- How is model validated and what is confidence?
- What further work needed?
- measurements of contamination in fish landed in Japan (DG-MARE)
- what is spatial and species distribution?
- How was data obtained?
- Results of measurements outside Japan
- EU Member States have been monitoring imports and no contamination found. Do we know what has been sampled?
- relationship between contamination in sea and contamination in fish
- comparison of Japanese correlation with that of IRSN
- migratory behaviour of pelagic fish in western Pacific
- can fish (skipjack but also albacore, bigeye and swordfish) feed in contaminated zone and be caught outside)
- risk to European consumers of fish and fisheries products from western Pacific
- from all the above analysis do we believe that there is a risk from fish caught outside the Japanese 200 mile limit and should imports from this area be monitored?
- How do we report the risk?
- future work plans
- are there any plans to continue monitoring this area?
- Can we have a common data pool (we shouldn't all need to digitise the reports separately)?
- What are future plans for participants on this issue
- communication between those looking at different aspects of risk (facebook group?, e-mail list, web-pages?)
- Reporting this meeting
