Islamabad:
The European Union has banned the import of seafood from Pakistan
for its failure to maintain food safety regulations, a media
report said.
Federal Minister for Trade Makhdoom Amin Fahim told parliament
that the EU has deleted names of Pakistani seafood export
companies from its list. The main reason was that the companies
failed to come up to the international standard of food safety,
the Online news agency reported.
In order to resume exports, more than 200 boats have been built
according to EU standards and laboratory services under the marine
fisheries department are being revamped, the minister said.
The trade ministry has also requested the EU to send its officials
for inspection.
