08:00–09:00 | Opening Doors – Welcome Coffee, Refreshments & Snacks
09:00–09:15 | Official Conference Opening & Welcome Note
09:15–10:45 | Session I: Trade & Tariffs
How will the increased demand from authorities for exporters and importers to submit much larger amounts of detailed data on their outbound or inbound shipments, influence the way our tuna sector works and reports?
Do these higher demands create an additional trade barrier for developing nations with less sophisticated data collection systems?
What are the challenges authorities, exporters, and importers encountering in collecting and importing this data? Is this process the same for all EU member states?
How is the information about the new CATCH system being communicated to the tuna sector, and are exporting and importing countries already digitally exchanging trade and catch data? Where do we stand?
How will it affect predictive forecasting on supply and demand trends based on historical and real-time catches, prices, imports, and consumer data?
Will it change the way we trade and make our sourcing, processing, and buying decision, now that we can easily integrate large datasets?
10:45–11:15 | Coffee Break
11:15–13:45 | Session II: Traceability & Import Reporting
To what extent can digital tools be, or are already being, used in automating the traceability and import process?
How far is the EU in implementing its CATCH digital platform? What level of traceability data will be expected from stakeholders throughout the supply chain to report their outgoing and incoming shipments?
Can both operational efficiency and transparency be increased at the same time, or will it simply mean more work, cost, and delays?
13:45–15:00 | Lunch
15:00–16:30 | Session III: Marketing & Health
What will the future introduction of Digital Product Passports imply for efficiently sharing information and data with health authorities, food processors, caterers, and consumers on their product?
How can this data be used for marketing and customization towards certain consumer segments and demands?
What should still be mentioned on the label, if we can already easily find everything online?
