Abstract

The process and substance of the fisheries subsidies negotiations that took place from the circulation of document TN/RL/W/279 (document 279) up to the 22-23 July General Council. Much of this report is based on communications that I circulated to you by email in the lead-up to the July General Council meeting. As you will recall, on 10 July 2024, under my responsibility as Chair of the Negotiating Group on Rules, I circulated a revised draft of the Additional Provisions on Fisheries Subsidies in document 279 and two draft General Council decisions in documents TN/RL/W/280 (document 280) and TN/RL/W/281 (document 281). This was done in response to the strong desire and widespread call of the vast majority of Members since MC13 to conclude the fisheries subsidies negotiations by the July General Council based on the draft text that I had circulated in TN/RL/W/278 (document 278) in April. Circulating document 279 at that time also preserved the opportunity to inscribe it on the agenda of the 22-23 July General Council so that Members could further engage in the negotiating process with a view to building consensus on the text, with potentially some adjustments that enjoyed an increased level of convergence before the General Council.
