Summary of agreed points
Item 1: Risk assessment flowchart and engagement in FIPs
• Small and medium businesses (SMEs) will be able to rely on another business'
or organisation’s (either within or outside the SSC membership) engagement
with a fishery or farm when they cannot do so directly themselves. There is no
formal definition of what constitutes an SME and this will need to be defined for
the SSC. Some of the group thought there ought to be commitments in the code
for the member to prove through a paper trail that another business already has
a level of engagement with the fishery or farm and evidence that shows this is
helping to improve it.
