Problems with the EU's digital fishing certification system

A new digital European system for certifying fishing catches is creating significant difficulties for producers and exporters, resulting in delays and container pile-ups at ports. Several ministers from EU member states have reported malfunctions, missing species in the database, and inconsistencies in postal codes.

The system, designed to track catches more efficiently and ensure compliance with European regulations, has proven problematic since its implementation. Software bugs and data gaps are hindering the certification process, causing export delays and potential economic losses for companies in the sector.

For those evaluating the implementation of complex technological solutions, there are trade-offs between expected benefits and implementation risks. AI-RADAR offers analytical frameworks on /llm-onpremise to evaluate these aspects.
