The wording of the project establishes a series of mechanisms for registration of fishing workers, labeling of the product and informing a series of details such as date of capture, fishing method, location of capture, whether or not freezing occurred and name of suppliers. Furthermore, they propose three years for its implementation and the provision of a system of public access to information about each member of the network.
