Most Arctic ivory is covered by a ban on hunting, yet the Inuit in Alaska and Greenland are allowed to catch a quota of walrus - which is at present listed on CITES Appendix II - each year as part of their cultural rights. The raw ivory can be used, worked and sold only by local people, and only under strict control. This rule makes it possible to buy walrus ivory items legally in America. It is also possible to buy walrus ivory in Denmark (as Greenland is a protectorate of that country), where it has been imported with full CITES documentation. Exporting the material from these countries, however, may not be permitted, and would require further documentation. 

Since the first oil crisis, energy independence has been a central topic in Danish energy planning. Today, there is a large offshore oil and gas sector, and Denmark is currently a net exporter of oil and gas. 

The current developmental advantage of Denmark for organic products must be used to strengthen the position in the export markets while the barriers for market entry are still low, which means while the export markets are not yet occupied by local suppliers or brands. 

Feta cheese originates from Greece, where it was originally produced from yew s milk. Today it is an important ingredient of the daily diet in Southeast Europe and the Arabic countries. In these countries the milk production is too low to sustain a level of self-sufficiency with this type of cheese. Consequently several North European countries, among them Denmark, have started a comprehensive production of Feta cheese for export purposes. 

The manufacturer shall inform the National Board of Health of any defect that could result in a recall or abnormal restriction on the supply in Denmark or in an export country and implement an effective system that makes it possible to recall promptly and at any... 

The control according to subs. (3) may be omitted in cases where the medicinal product accompanied by a control report is intended to remain in Denmark and appropriate arrangements have been made with the exporting country by which it is secured that this control has been carried on in the exporting country. 

Total trade in live, fresh, and frozen mnssel is expanding, and reached almost 237,703 tons in vol-nme of exportation in 2004. Of this, 46% are fresh mussels. Main exporting conntry is Netherlands, followed by Spain, New Zealand, and Denmark. Other countries such as China, Germany, United Kingdom, and Ireland export abont 15,000 tons of fresh mussels per year. 

Canned mussel exports are completely Europe based, and practically all intra-EU trade. Canned exports in qnantity fluctuates quite a bit between 26,000 tons and 30,000 tons. Denmark is the most important exporter of canned mussels accounting for about one-third of the total. In value terms, the canned mussel trade represents about 29,608 tons and US 113 million in volume of exportation, which would give a unit valne of US 3.82/kg. Spain, being such an important producer, seems to consume the entire canned mnssel production inside the country. Main canned mussel importers are France and Italy. Most of these canned mussel products go to the restaurants for antipasti and other preparations where canned mnssels are easy to be used [1]. 

In 2005, fish oil production declined in all the main producing countries with the exception of Iceland. The production estimate was about 570,000 tonnes in the five main exporting countries (Peru, Denmark, Chile, Iceland, and Norway) in 2005, a 12% decline from the 650,000 tonnes produced in 2004. Peru continues to be the main fish oil producer in the world, with about one fourth of the total fish oil production. Though Peruvian catches of fish were destined for reduction in 2005 it was more or less in line with the 2004 result, however, fish oil production declined from 350,000 tonnes to 290,000 tonnes, due to the lower fat content of the fish. In the recent summer months, the fat content was as low as 2% as compared to 4% in 2004. ... 

Moreover, lower stable prices could be guaranteed since the Orimulsion is classified as a nonpetrol-eum product according to OPEC standards, and is not included in the production quota. Consequently, Orimulsion has been, slowly but surely, penetrating the energy market. Exports of the product, which started in 1990, have reached in 1998 more than 4 million tons a year to a variety of countries such as Canada, Japan, China, Denmark, Italy, and Lithuania (63, 64). 

In Venezuela, the Orimulsion eoneept has been a suc-eess in the transportation of extraheavy crudes. These oil-in-water emulsions normally eontain about 30% water and about 65% bitumen. Venezuela exports the Orimulsion to eountries sueh as Canada, Japan, China, Denmark, Italy, and Lithuania. In 1998, 4 million tons were exported. The reeovery of hydroearbons from the oil sands is surveyed in detail by Czameeki, who describes the problems with water-in-oil emulsions during the process steps. A major problem is created by downstream complications due to high amounts of water and high salinity. 

From the data presented in Table XIV, which are averages for the 5 year period from 1977 to 1981, some facts can be derived as to the production and trade of rapeseed. The Eastern European countries are major producers of rapeseed and rapeseed oil but export relatively little (<10%). On the other hand, Sweden and Denmark also produce large amounts of rapeseed, but half of the rapeseed and 60% of the oil is exported. The third group of countries which includes France, West Germany, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Italy, and Finland, characteristically has both a high production and consumption of rapeseed oil. From the rapeseed and rapeseed oil export-import figures, it is clear that considerable trade occurs as well. 

The market share of decaffeinated coffee in a number of European countries is listed in Table 5.7 and it is clear that the popularity of the decaffeinated product varies widely from one country to another. In Germany and France, for example, the decaffeinated product is comparatively popular, the market share in 1990 being about 12% and 8% respectively (these countries are also the principal European exporters) in Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland on the other hand the market share is less than 1%. In the latter group of countries little or no decaffeinated coffee is produced and imports are very low. (In 1988... 

The Danes first realized the need for adding vitamin A to a food. During World War I, practically all the butter of Denmark was exported. Subsequently, an eye ailment was observed in young children and was recognized tis a vitamin A deficiency. As a preventive metisure, vitamin A concentrates were added to margarine. Other countries adopted the practice. The Council on Foods and Nutrition of the American Medical Association approved it in 1939, and it htis since been advocated by the Fbod and Nutrition Board. 

As long as domestic prices are above world prices and world supplies are ample, exporting countries will look to the United States as a possible market The four countries exporting the largest amount of dairy products are Italy, New Zealand, Denmark, and The Netherlands. As a result, import pressure will persist yet, it is expected that imports of many commodities will continue to be limited by quotas. 

Denmark imported chemical technology at first from France, then from England, and in the latter part of the period from, or at least via, Germany. Danish exports of technology were the cryolite soda ash process, beer brewing and production of yeast, cream and cheese.
