Abstract

The most fundamental question facing governments reconsidering fisheries subsidies is the scope of the WTO ban they have agreed to adopt- whether the ban will cover subsidies to land based fisheries infrastructure or post harvest processing and marketing and how far should the ban be relaxed? It also addresses a question: how should governments deal with subsidies that fall outside the scope of a new ban in order to ensure that they avoid contributing to overcapacity and overfishing? The aim of this paper is to assist governments in the identification of criteria for the use of fisheries subsidies with the dual ambition of helping WTO negotiators craft new international law and providing domestic governments with useful advice as they pursue responsible subsidies policies.
