FOOD INDUSTRY Graphic symbols confirming a special character of the product: Protected Designation of Origin Protected Geographical Indication Traditional Speciality Guaranteed To obtain one of the aforementioned designations creates an opportunity for its recipients – producers as their products acquire prestige. Consequently the demand and production of such protected articles increases. The products protected as described above guarantee the purchaser permanent high quality and preservation of centuries old recipes used during their manufacture. So far approximately 650 products with such designations have been registered. Given a wealth and variety of Polish culture, a great interest in this subject should be expected. Producers associated in groups will aim at preserving the tradition of manufacturing products typical of their geographical areas such as mountains or ethnically different regions (Silesia, Podhale, Kaszuby), where folk and culinary traditions have been maintained for centuries. Confirmation of the product traditional or regional character by marking it with one of the three indications will contribute to increased demand for such product and encourage interest in the very idea of such product protection.

General Information on Fisheries FISHERIES Fisheries in Poland cover the Baltic Sea fisheries, deep sea fishing and inland fisheries. The coastline, including the Hel peninsula, the Szczecin Bay and the Vistula Bay, is 788 km long. The internal sea waters occupy 1 991 km 2 , and the territorial sea – 8 682 km 2 . The Baltic Sea coastal zone comprises 36 gminas in 18 poviats in pomorskie, zachodniopomorskie and warmiƒsko-mazurskie voivodships. The Baltic Sea salinity is very low; the further from the Danish Straits, the lower its average salinity. Most of Polish rivers are situated in the Baltic Sea basin. Poland’s water system is characterised by a low number of dam reservoirs and their small capacity. Poland is a country with a relatively large number of lakes; there are more than 7 000 reservoirs of more than 1 ha and their total area is over 280 000 ha. In 2003 supply of fish for human consumption on the domestic market was over 400 000 t, a 4.3% rise compared to 2002, however, a nearly 17% decline compared to 2000. For many years Polish sea fishing has shown a downward tendency, which has been partly offset by import growth. Inland fisheries have remained at a stable level. Table 12.

Fish consumption in Poland is rather low. In 2003 it was equal to 10.5 kg per capita and was on average by 56.1% lower than that in the EU-15 on average (ranging from 11 kg in Austria to 60 kg in Portugal on average in 1997-1999) and by 35.2% lower than on average in the world. 43 1995=100 2003 2000=100 2002=100
