Fisheries, International Trade and Sustainable Development:
Policy Discussion Paper
| To advance towards better outcomes
for sustainable development, this policy discussion paper aims
to provide policy-makers, scientists, advocates, journalists and
those engaged in the fishing industry with an overview of the
key linkages, tensions and policy debates at the intersection
of fisheries and international trade. The paper does not advocate
a particular perspective or make recommendations; rather it endeavours
to highlight different views and options for policy-making. It
should be seen as a starting point for debate that provides a
conceptual framework for further in-depth analysis on specific
policy areas and how they should be addressed in particular country
and fishery contexts. The paper proceeds in two parts. Organised around the three broad public policy objectives outlined above, Part One reviews the key economic, environmental and social factors that influence the management, harvest, production and trade of fisheries resources, calling attention to emerging trade trends and the precarious state of fisheries resources. Part Two reviews the key trade-related areas of international policy debate relevant to the fisheries sector: tariff liberalisation; safeguards and anti-dumping; standards and other non-tariff barriers; ecolabelling; subsidies; access agreements; and trade-related measures to promote fisheries management and environmental protection. Each of these chapters follows a similar format, identifying the policy issue at hand, the relevant background, the key policy debates and tensions, and the relevant international processes. The paper concludes with a summary of the linkages between trade policy issues and sustainable development priorities, and a set of proposals for further research. |
