The proposed ban on the import of live lobsters into the European Union has been snuffed, after the EU’s Committee on Invasive Alien Species told Swedish officials that the American lobster isn’t an invasive species.
The Portland Press Herald reported that although the committee would not support the invasive species listing, it said that it could explore other measures to protect the European lobster in the future. The invasive species listing was the cornerstone of the proposed ban.
“This would have had a massive impact throughout the industry, from the fishermen on up to the processors to the restaurants who serve our lobsters and consumers who eat them,” Annie Tselikis, marketing manager for Maine Coast Co. and a spokesperson for the Maine Lobster Dealers’ Association, told the Press Herald.
