At the Seafood Expo Global, the world's largest seafood trade fair, the European Commission organized information sessions on various topics. One of the services to be promoted was EUMOFA, the European Observatory for Fisheries and Aquaculture Products, to which were devoted two sessions on 26 and 28 April. Using data drawn from EUMOFA, Xavier Guillou from the Markets and Trade Unit of the General Directorate for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries showed some of the main trends on the EU market for seafood. The EU is the largest trader of fishery and aquaculture products in the world in terms of value. In 2015, the trade flow (including intra-EU) amounted to almost EUR50 billion on a volume 14 million tonnes. The EU covers its domestic consumption mostly through imports, the majority of which are either frozen or prepared products. Shrimps, tuna, white fish and fishmeal are the most imported products. Norway (mainly salmon and cod) and China (processing country for white fish) are the main EU suppliers.
