- EFSAEFSA is a European agency funded by the European Union that operates independently of the European legislative and executive institutions (Commission, Council, Parliament) and EU Member States. It was set up in 2002 following a series of food crises in the late 1990s to be a source of scientific advice and communication on risks associated with the food chain. The agency was legally established by the EU under the General Food Law – Regulation 178/2002. The General Food Law created a European food safety system in which responsibility for risk assessment (science) and for risk management (policy) are kept separate. See visual infographic. EFSA is responsible for the former area, and also has a duty to communicate its scientific findings to the public.

- KRAVFishing in the Nordic economic zone north of 62ºN is heavily regulated. All fishing vessels over 20 meter must have a concession for prawn fishing. The tool for fishing used in the prawn fishery is trawl equipped with a separating grid. This grid prevents small prawns and fish fry from getting caught in the trawl. The Institute of Marine Research continuously monitors marine resources and the environment to ensure sustainable harvesting of Norwegian prawns. The Directorate of Fisheries and the Norwegian Coast Guard have the authority to close prawn fishing in areas where the proportion of small prawns and by-catch exceeds specified limits. Prawn fishing in the Barents Sea is certified as sustainable fishing by KRAV.
