As a result of the efforts of the Iran Veterinary Organization, export of Iranian fishery products to the EU member states has been resumed, Trend reports referring to the information from the veterinary organization.
New companies to export the fishery products have been registered. At the same time, the US sanctions against Iran have created a number of problems for Iranian fishery products' export, the report said.
