On 8 April 2009, the Commission presented a communication to give new impetus to the sustainable development of aquaculture. While the EU aquaculture industry meets high EU standards, its production has stagnated while it has continued to grow in the rest of the world. The communication adopted by the Commission identifies and addresses the causes of this stagnation. It aims to boost the competitiveness of the sector, ensure its sustainability and improve its governance.
