en.Wedoany.com Reported - The General Council of Customs Agents and Customs Representatives of Spain (Consejo General de los Colegios de Agentes de Aduanas y Representantes Aduaneros) has submitted a report to the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (Ministerio de Agricultura, Pesca y Alimentación), analyzing the main deficiencies in the operation of the Catch/Traces system.

In the report, the Council simultaneously proposes multiple operational improvement proposals aimed at reducing the burden on companies and professionals involved in fishery product imports. This action continues the monitoring work carried out by the institution since the mandatory entry into force of this European tool on January 10 of this year.

Following several meetings with officials from the Ministry of Agriculture, progress has been made in simplifying some procedures, but the General Council believes that further improvements are still needed to address the prominent issues that continue to plague the daily activities of practitioners.

The report points out that technical and operational difficulties remain significant, including slow platform response times, system crashes, duplicate entry of information already available in international databases, low levels of integration with exporting countries, and a lack of rapid error correction or problem-solving mechanisms. There are notable differences among EU member states regarding the verification deadlines for catch certificates, and the Council calls for corresponding adjustments to reduce delays, lower costs, and alleviate administrative burdens.
