EU regulatory and enforcement instruments governing wild-capture seafood imports, vessel monitoring, digital catch documentation (CATCH system), and the red/yellow-card regime for non-cooperating flag states under Regulation (EC) No 1005/2008 (IUU Regulation) as amended by Regulation (EU) 2023/2842. Captures the world's largest seafood-import market (~EUR 24bn/year) imposing mandatory electronic catch certification from 2026 and escalating identification of IUU-enabling flag states into full import prohibitions. Distinct from the food-security agricultural-export-controls theme (which tracks supply-side export bans by major grain/fertilizer producers) — this is the demand-side import-control architecture for seafood, with a traceability and flag-state-compliance logic.
