Abstract

"The EU comprises 27 member countries with a total area of four million square kilometers and a population of some 500 million people. Personal there is rather high in comparison with other blocs. EU peoples like seafood because of its taste and nutrients. Per capita demand for seafood in the bloc is about 26.3 kg per year (FAOSTAT 2005). Because of its unfavorable geographical position and climate and limited aquatic resources, the EU has to adopt measures to limit fishing business while the demand for seafood is still on the increase. This situation forces it to import seafood from America and Asia, including Vietnam. "
