  2. On certification by the MAC: What are requirements ...

    for an importer of tropical marine fish to become certified by the MAC? :?: A) I understand that there is NO requirement to ONLY trade in MAC certified fish. So are there minimum {threshold} ratios? In other words , must say 10% of the fish-volume traded be certified by MAC? :?: B) How...
  3. MAC's random testing status ???

    Steve , what am I missing here? IF none of this random testing is implemented, HOW CAN THERE BE CERTIFIED FISH anywhere??? And what of the good folks who were certified early on in the process? Are they getting their money's worth? Have any asked for a refund? Shucks, here I am trying to...
  4. MAC's random testing status ???

    Thanx Mike, working on that***. BUT I had hoped that someone here is in good enough books with John_Brandt who continues to attach his personal "certification" to his "credentials". { MAC (Board of Directors) } AND is still posting on various other RDO fora. { thanx Horge! :wink: } Surely...

  6. should the dry goods industry be more closely regulated?

    THIS is pretty much how I read it: DUH??? DRY GOODS & REGULATION? (1) For the record === Where do I see him telling the US government??? (2) How can we miss that so far 500 US military personel died in IRAQ; never mind the thousands of wounded... === WE are more than a lil aware of...
  7. should the dry goods industry be more closely regulated?

    That's a huge assumption on your part, Jenn! And a double whammy at that: Not only that, but what bearing do your assumptions have on a discussion of CDT testing HERE? If anyone - regardless of citizenship and/or current physical location - makes a remark about the pros or cons of a...

  9. MAC's random testing status ???

    In a different thread In the above statement by John_Brandt of the RDO Taskforce, who signed off as we read: MAC will be facilitating the random cyanide testing of MAC Certified fish. That was written last May [2003]. Now my questions are: a) what precisely is ment by "facilitating"? b)...

    YUP dizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzy! Apparently so! All one has to do is show up on this forum, and make a few post. Then the paranoia sets in: "HEY WHO ARE YOU?" "I'M not sure I can communicate with you, if I don't know your name!" "What are you hiding?" "Something must be wrong here..." "You...
