Abstract

The Doha Round of the World Trade Organization (WTO), in November 2001, called for negotiations “to clarify and improve WTO disciplines on fisheries subsidies, taking into account the importance of this sector to developing countries”. It also took note of specific subsidies in “achieving legitimate development goals” and the demand from developing countries to treat their technology research and development funding, production diversification and development, and implementation of environmentally sound methods of production, as non-actionable subsidies.
