The European Union suspended the import of fish and fisheries products from Sri Lanka since 15 January 2015 thus raising the risk of the country losing a revenue of at least USD 200 million annually.
Meanwhile, if this sanction is not lifted immediately there is a threat of some 90% of the fishery products companies in Sri Lanka closing down.
BIZ 24X7 of the Adaderana 24X7 channel interviewed Sri Lanka Fishery Exporters’ Association spokesman Channa Weeratunge on this issue.
