Traceability of raw materials: an imperative
I have a direct link with the head of the CITES office in Rennes, attached to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora. This enables me to consult the regulatory data for each species, so that I never use skins from endangered species.
The fish I process comes exclusively from local fisheries, which are supervised and regulated. The fishmonger I work with is certified and subject to strict regulations on the protection of species.
A commitment that complies with regulations
I am also registered with the Direction départementale de la protection des populations, in accordance with
-
the decree of 8 December 2011,
-
Regulation EC No 1069/2009 of the European Parliament.
This authorisation covers the activity of tanning category 3 animal by-products (article 10j), i.e. fish skins not intended for human consumption, in compliance with the health rules laid down by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food, Fisheries, Rural Affairs and Town and Country Planning.
