Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)Abstract
This update provides an overview of the draft text that constitutes the current basis of World Trade Organization (WTO) negotiations on fisheries subsidies, which was circulated to WTO members by the chair of the Rules Negotiating Group, Ambassador Gunnarsson of Iceland, on November 29, 2024 (WTO, 2024d, 2024g). The objective of these negotiations is to complement the existing WTO Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies with additional disciplines on subsidies that contribute to overfishing and overcapacity. After providing some background on the recent history of negotiations and the current state of play, the update describes and explains succinctly the new rules that are envisaged, and it provides contextual information to help readers understand the dynamics that have led to particular provisions in the draft text. For each main component of the proposed new rules, a summary box is provided to outline the key elements of the disciplines. Finally, the update concludes by highlighting a few key considerations about the draft text from a sustainable development perspective
