The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry has revised the principles for the allocation of the eel export quota. The Amendment Regulation on the Allocation of Eel (Anguilla Anguilla) Export Quota and the Issuance of CITES Permit, prepared by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, was published in the Official Gazette and entered into force. With this regulation, arrangements were made in the principles for the allocation of the eel export quota. Accordingly, eel fishing, stock assessment of products obtained before the fishing ban, and the issuance of export permits, transport and origin certificates will be conducted in accordance with the principles in the Regulation on the Regulation of Commercial Fishing of Aquatic Products published in the Official Gazette dated 11 August 2024. In the sales notification process, companies wishing to export eels will use the username and password from the internet-based Fisheries Information System (SUBİS).

Each company operating in this field will issue a separate sales notification for eels in each transport and origin certificate. PRINCIPLES FOR ISSUING A FISHING CERTIFICATE Companies intending to export eels will apply to the authorized provincial directorate for the issuance of a fishing certificate after completing the sales notification entry. Based on the requested export quantity, a fishing certificate will be issued through SUBİS by the authorized provincial directorate.
