Egyptian farmed fish and crustaceans will be eligible for export to all 27 European Union (EU) member states starting 4 November, following Brussels approval of the country’s aquaculture monitoring plan, opening a lucrative market to Africa’s largest fish-farming nation, on 14 October by adopting Implementing Regulation 2026/2228. The approval comes as ties between Cairo and Brussels deepen.
