Approved collection centres

39 establishments have appeared on the register as a collection centre since January 2020 — the 14th most common of the 20 approved activities. 24 are still there.

What this approval covers

Section VII — shellfish are gathered here. An establishment carrying out this activity on products of animal origin must be approved under Regulation (EC) 853/2004, and must apply an identification mark — the oval — carrying its approval number.

One establishment, several activities. A third of the register holds more than one approval, so this page overlaps with the others by design. The number in the oval identifies the establishment, not the activity.
