EU-food balance An EU food-balance: • Gives insights in the (changes in) EU-market for seafood product; • Shows (changes in) EU-supply and consumption • Gives insights on general level, but also on species level • Can help in making policy decisions.
EU-food balance However, there are some uncertainties/challenges To get a better insight in the EU seafood market more information is desirable on: • How non-food use is measured • What the origin is of raw material • How EU fisheries landings outside EU are included into the food balance • If the EU conversion factors are still up-to-date • Other?
Question to Commission MAC has the aim to get more insight in EU market of fish • Are we over/underestimating EU consumption? • Do we know where all the fish originally come from? • Are trade agreements effective? • And what about fisheries agreements? Can we ask the Commission to give us more information about identified gaps using EUMOFA? If information is not there can we ask the Commission to do additional analyses via EUMOFA? Focus on main product categories?
Thank you for the attention
