'The Pacific Islands Forum Fisheries Agency facilitated a two-week regional workshop held in Suva from 25 May to 5 June, focusing on the Delegated EU Regulation 1449/2025. The workshop was attended by officials from the Competent Authority within the pacific region including three representatives from the Kiribati Competent Authority.

The workshop provided a valuable opportunity for Competent Authority across the region to strengthen their understanding of the EU regulatory framework and discuss practical measures and future strategies for ensuring full compliance among its offshore establishments that are EU listed, so as to continuously pursue the EU market.

The Ministry of Fisheries and Ocean Resources (MFOR) gratefully acknowledges the ongoing technical support provided by the Pacific Islands Forum Fisheries Agency, as well as the financial support from PEUMP.'
