In 2014, two of the top exporting Member States reached their 9-year peak in both volume and value, namely the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. The UK increase was mostly due to a EUR 65 million growth of salmonids exports over 2013, while the Netherlands increase was led by growing exports of small pelagics (+ EUR 52 million). Spain also achieved a 9-year volume peak in 2014, led by skyrocketing exports of small pelagics, which almost doubled 2013 volume. However, Spain reported an overall decrease in value terms. Denmark exports did not report variations between 2013 and 2014. As for values, they remained at almost EUR 630 million, the same level as their 2013 peak. France registered remarkable losses of more than 20% between 2013 and 2014, due to a fall in exported tuna. Russian Federation 6%
