The European Union has lifted a ban on Pakistan’s fish exports around seven years after it was imposed, Commerce Secretary Munir Qureshi said on Wednesday. Qureshi said two fish companies from Pakistan were allowed exports to European countries. He said exports would start from March 12. A ban was imposed on the country’s fish exports to EU in April 2007 because of poor hygienic conditions. With the ban, Pakistan had been losing at least $50 million worth market share per year.
