Mike Lamberte, General Santos City Fish Port manager, said he personally heard the positive comments made by the EU inspectors during the visit.
The EU inspection team, led by Dr. Luca Farina, arrived here Tuesday to inspect tuna production facilities and operations in the city.
The team visited the tuna processing sites, fishing vessels' berthing area, tuna unloading zone, freezers, laboratories and canneries.
The EU inspectors wanted to ensure compliance with EU standards by the tuna producers and exporters here before further opening the EU’s door to the city's tuna products.
