Due to decreasing self-sufficiency rates in recent years, the EU fisheries and aquaculture products market is largely dependent on external producers. Albeit some EU market entries come from countries with lax regulations.

The study presents opportunities for strengthening the competitiveness of EU's fisheries and aquaculture sector. It provides options on how to improve the level playing field for EU producers through regulating the conditions of access to EU's market for non-EU countries.
