Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe has welcomed the decision by the EU this week to lift a ban on Sri Lanka’s fish exports.
The PM suggested the move as a significant step towards reaping economic benefits for Sri Lanka and will fuel the growth potential of the fishing industry in the country.
The European Commission decided to lift of the ban on fisheries exports from Sri Lanka to the European Union, stating that Sri Lanka now had a robust legal and policy framework to fight illegal fishing activities.
The Sri Lankan government said that it was facing a loss of over 100 million U.S. dollars per year because of the ban.
