Abstract

The current landscape of fisheries subsidies and tariffs is extremely harmful to fish stocks and the fish and fisheries products sector, with potentially irrevocable medium- and long-term effects. The health of the sector depends on its ability to reconcile employment and income generation priorities with the sustainability of fish stocks. Subsidies and tariffs must urgently be reformed. Non-tariff measures (NTMs), if introduced in a harmonized manner internationally, may help reconcile employment and environmental concerns. Financial resources currently spent on harmful subsidies should instead be channeled to helping fishers comply with NTM’s, towards sustainable fisheries management.
