The Department of Fisheries of the Ministry of Agriculture is moving to finalise amendments to regulations needed to restart the export of catfish to the United States of America, according to Head of the Department Denzil Roberts.
Speaking to Stabroek News last week, Roberts explained that the Department has to set up a meeting with the Veterinary Public Health Department on changes in the regulations to reflect what the United States now requires.
“Those changes will have to be incorporated in the regulations and then [they] will be sent to the Attorney General’s Chambers to be approved. We should be meeting sometime this week to have a final look at the document before we agree and then send it to the AG’s Chambers and once they okay it, the minister should be able to approve it and then send it to the US,” he said.
