Abstract

In 1990, the total fleet of the European Union (EU), numbering over 104, 000 fishing vessels, accounted for a fifth of global marine catches, 28 per cent of which were harvested from either the high seas or the waters of other countries. However, those six and a half million tonnes of fish were not enough for the biggest fishery products market in the world. The EU imported nearly seven million tonnes of fishery products that year, while exporting only 1.3 million tonnes. On its own, it absorbed 38 per cent of the international trade in fishery products.
