Book excerpt: Twitter: @globalsubsidies Addressing the Development Dimension of an Overcapacity and Overfishing Subsidy Discipline in the WTO Fisheries Subsidies Negotiations: A discussion paper by IISD January 2020 Written by Alice Tipping Acknowledgements The author is grateful for the support of the Government of Norway for this research and to the reviewers who provided comments on earlier versions of the p [...] Of these, the structure of the IUU and overfished stocks disciplines appears to be relatively stable, while the discussion of approaches to the overcapacity and overfishing disciplines is less so, with several ideas on the table. [...] These geography-based flexibilities have been proposed specifically in the context of the list approach to disciplines, and obviously speak clearly to the livelihood and food security priorities and to the broader development policy priorities of the mandate, at least in the short term. [...] The aim of this analysis of the proposals on the table, and the food for thought around combinations of approaches, is to help WTO Members to design a system of rules that ensures that subsidies that continue are subject to safeguards to ensure that they do not contribute to overcapacity and overfishing.

Book excerpt: This book critically analyses the World Trade Organization’s approach to "special and differential treatment" (SDT) to argue that it is founded on seeking exemptions from WTO obligations, instead of creating an enabling environment for developing countries to integrate fully into the multilateral trading system. Through six key sections: United States Proposal on Special and Differential Treatment Responses to United States Proposal The Evolution of Differential Treatment Failure of the Current Approach to Differential Treatment Complications Created by China’s Emergence in the Global Economy An Alternative Approach to Differential Treatment this book explores how, by adopting a new evidence-based, case-by-case approach to SDT, the development of the poorest countries can best be advanced, while at the same time ensuring that advanced developing countries carry their weight in the organization. It will be of interest to scholars and students of international trade law and political science, as well as trade practitioners such as lawyers, diplomats, and analysts.
Download or read book Fisheries Subsidies under International Law written by Chen-Ju Chen and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-09-17 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Subsidies to fisheries have been in existence for centuries. However, these remained outside the spotlight of the international community until the turn of this century when the negative effects that fisheries subsidies have on international trade, the environment and sustainable development became increasingly clear. As a result the Doha Round Negotiations set the parameters for an effective fisheries subsidies regime. WTO Members thus embarked in intensive negotiations with the collaboration of various international organizations. These negotiations culminated with publication of the legal text of the Chairman of the Negotiating Group on Rules in 2007 which reflects to a large extent the mandates of the Ministerial Conferences and reconciles the diverse interests of the negotiators. The EU as a major WTO Member and with its own Common Fisheries Policy which has been in effect for a number of years can serve as the basis for comparison and improvement of the proposed regulations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past six years, the world's fishery sector has reached a turning point with global fish production reaching a plateau of approximately 100 million tons annually. While aquaculture output continued to grow, yields from capture fisheries were uneven and showed increasing signs of stagnation because of widespread overfishing and overcapitalization, ineffective management, deteriorating resource health, declining or flat global harvests, and inefficient economic and trade policies. This paper examines the role of subsidies in fisheries.

Book excerpt: Introducing fisheries subsidies explains why fishery subsidies are of concern, discusses alternatives to subsidies, explains why they are implemented and briefly considers the difficulties caused by their existence. The discussion then sharpens the focus to analyse a number of relevant topics. The final chapter considers current discussions on how the international community might be able to impose sufficient discipline to bring the subsidies that stimulate overfishing under control. There follows a more technical discussion of the linkage between fishery subsidies and their effects on sustainability and trade.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International Organizations (IOs) are vital institutions in world politics in which cross-border issues can be discussed and global problems managed. This path-breaking book shows the efforts that small states have made to participate more fully in IO activities. It draws attention to the challenges created by widened participation in IOs and develops an original model of the dilemmas that both IOs and small states face as the norms of sovereign equality and the right to develop coincide. Drawing on extensive qualitative data, including more than 80 interviews conducted for this book, the authors find that the strategies which both IOs and small states adopt to balance their respective dilemmas can explain both continuity and change in their interactions with institutions ranging from UN agencies to the World Trade Organization.

Book excerpt: The draft consolidated text, circulated to Members on June 25, presents a streamlined compilation of the draft language under discussion in a series of articles covering the new instrument's scope and definitions, the three substantive pillars of the rules (subsidies to IUU fishing, to overfished stocks, and subsidies that contribute to overcapacity and overfishing more broadly) and some cross-cut [...] Scope and Definitions Issues covered under the two first articles of the draft consolidated text include the type of subsidies covered by the disciplines, the overall scope of a future instrument, and the definition of key terms such as fishing or fishing-related activities. [...] In the case of an RFMO/A, Members seem to be converging on the need to ensure that the determination is made according to the rules and procedures of the RFMO/A. [...] Discussions have also focused on whether to make explicit certain obligations in the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) requiring the Member making a determination to inform the flag state of the vessel concerned and whether also to extend such an obligation to notification of the subsidizing Member and give them the opportunity to provide information. [...] The draft consolidated text suggests possibilities for the duration of the prohibition (as long as the sanction is in place, with a minimum number of months to be negotiated) and reflects ideas requiring Members notify measures in place, but does not explicitly address the question of when the prohibition would begin to apply.

This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The members of the World Trade Organization (WTO) have been continuously involved in achieving a balanced outcome in the area of fisheries subsidies negotiations in 2018. The discussions have been ongoing and will continue in 2019. According to the 11th Ministerial Conference decision of the WTO, members are committed towards securing a deal in 2019. There are various aspects of fisheries subsidies that members of the WTO are presently assessing. The SDG (Sustainable Development Goals) Target 14.63 is one of the fundamentals for an outcome in the fisheries negotiations. The SDG Target 14.6 aims to prohibit or reduce fisheries subsidies linked to overfishing, overcapacity and illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing (IUU). In 2018, in the Rules Negotiating Group (RNG) on the fisheries clusters, members have discussed on overfishing and IUU issues. However, discussions on the overcapacity issue merits further investigations part of the SDG Target 14.6. This paper therefore aims to assess the relationship between fishing vessel capacity and fisheries subsidies as well as non-tariff measures, and provide further policy advice to trade negotiators in relation to the SDGs. In the assessment, we use panel data modelling of select developed OECD member countries that hold current vessel capacity and assess this against subsidies, non-tariff measures, exports and fish landing. The selected OECD member countries comprise of the proponents of the "Friends of fish" group. The finding of the paper provides policy recommendations for negotiators on fisheries subsidies and overcapacity. It also provides suggestions for special and differential treatment for developing and least developed countries (LDCs) in the fisheries negotiations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The discussion on improving disciplines on fisheries subsidies and making a contribution towards sustainable fishing and managing global fisheries has been ongoing at the World Trade Organization (WTO) since the WTO Doha Ministerial Conference held in 2001. In 2005, the WTO Hong Kong Ministerial Declaration gave a mandate on negotiations on fisheries subsidies aimed at strengthening disciplines on fisheries subsidies and prohibiting certain forms of subsidies that lead to overcapacity and over-fishing. Small vulnerable economies (SVEs) have strongly been involved in these discussions, particularly in view of the implications for their economies of the threat of certain forms of fisheries subsidies to the sustainability of fishing. Negotiations on fisheries subsidies have intensified as WTO members seek an outcome at the 11th Ministerial Conference (MC11). To participate meaningfully in the negotiations, SVEs have to identify issues of interest to them and ensure that they are captured in the outcome at MC11. This briefing paper assesses the current proposals on the negotiating table to determine whether or not they take into account the interests of SVEs. It concludes by suggesting strategic options on how SVEs can structure approaches to negotiations on strengthening disciplines on subsidies in the fisheries sector.
