EU - EU pork exports appear to be slowing down, according to latest figures released by Eurostat. Since hitting a new record in June, shipments had fallen back nearly a quarter by August, to stand at 180,000 tonnes.This is the lowest level since February but remains higher than any month before the start of this year.It was also 27 per cent higher than in the same month last year. The drop in shipments is largely due to a slowdown in sales to China, although they remain well above last year’s level.

　　根据欧洲统计局(Eurostat)公开的最新数字显示，欧盟猪肉出口量浮现放缓趋势。猪肉出口量自七月创新高以来，在八月减少了近四分之一，达到18万公吨。这是自二月以来的最低水平，但仍比年初之前任何一个月的记录都要高，与去年八月相比，高出了27%。尽管对中国的销量仍高于去年水平，但却是欧盟出口量减少的主要缘故。
