 "Sri Lanka begins exporting fishery products to EU")
Sri Lanka on Wednesday began exporting fishery products to the European Union after it lifted a ban on fishery products from the island-country.
Fisheries Minister Mahinda Amaraweera said the first consignment of fish exports was sent to Amsterdam in the Netherlands, Xinhua news agency reported.
He said Sri Lanka will now export fishery products to several other EU countries as well.
