A report released by the European Commission confirms the European Union (EU) is the seafood product largest importer and a major consumption market, representing 24 per cent of the total value of world trade.
This has been stated in report The EU fish Market 2014, available in four languages -- English, French, German and Spanish --, which is one of the services of the European Market Observatory for Fishery and Aquaculture (EUMOFA).
The document for the first time confers a complete overview of consumption, trade and production of fish and aquaculture in the EU, describing how much and what type of fish is consumed in the EU, where it comes from and how much is caught in the wild or produced from aquaculture.
The report remarks that despite the EU market's global strength following a strong period of growth in consumption in the last decade, consumption dropped by 5 per cent between 2008 and 2010 and has since remained stable.
