FIRST SALE

Description

First sale is the landed fish that is sold or registered at an auction centre to registered buyers or to producer organisations (PO). Volumes, value and prices are reported. Volumes are expressed in net weight for EU countries and in live weight equivalent (lwe) for Norway. Prices are expressed in Euro / kg (without VAT). For Norway, they are expressed in Euro / kg of live weight. First sales may differ from landings since the former do not cover fish that is landed by vessels owned by processing companies or direct sales to processors.

In EUMOFA, first-sales are available under weekly and monthly data. Data are collected from national administrations and commercial sources. For more details, see:

      IMPORT - EXPORT

Description

Exports (extra-EU) are goods recorded by Member States when they leave the territory of the EU (transit is not included).

Imports (extra-EU) are goods recorded by Member States when they enter the territory of the EU (transit is not included).

Intra-EU trade statistics record the trade of goods between Member States.

The standard source of extra-EU trade statistics is the customs declaration. For intra-EU trade, the source is any VAT-registered business that trades goods with other Member States.

For exports, the partner country is the country identified at the time of export as the final destination of the goods.

For imports, the partner country is the country of origin of the goods.

In EUMOFA, imports - exports are available under weekly data (EU imports from extra-EU countries), monthly and yearly data. Weekly data originate from the European Commission, while monthly data originate from EUROSTAT – COMEXT. For more information about the quality of European statistics on international trade in goods, please see the following document.

     RETAIL - CONSUMPTION

Description

Consumption refers to the amount of fisheries and aquaculture products that are consumed during a given period, and within a geographic area, such as a country.

In EUMOFA, consumption data are provided as:

• retail prices, under the weekly data;
• volumes and values of consumption of fresh products recorded by a sample of households, under the monthly and yearly data;
• volumes of “apparent consumption”, under the yearly data.

"Apparent consumption" is calculated by using the supply balance sheet that provides an estimate of the supply of fishery and aquaculture products available for human consumption at EU level.

The calculation of the supply balance sheet is based on the equation:

Apparent consumption =

[(total catches – industrial catches) + aquaculture + imports] – exports.

Catches targeted for fishmeal (industrial catches) are excluded. Non-food use products are also excluded from imports and exports.
