Compilation of seven fisheries subsidies proposals circulated to WTO members
World Trade Organisation
July 28, 2017
As
requested by members behind seven fisheries subsidies proposals, the
chair of the Negotiating Group on Rules (NGR), Ambassador Wayne McCook
(Jamaica), circulated to WTO members on 28 July a document compiling
these submissions in the form of a matrix. The compilation is intended
to help WTO members prepare over the summer for intensive negotiations
in September.
The compilation matrix reflects
seven textual proposals: from New Zealand, Iceland and Pakistan; the
European Union; Indonesia; the African, Caribbean, Pacific (ACP) Group
of States; a Latin American group composed of Argentina, Colombia, Costa
Rica, Panama, Peru and Uruguay; the Least-Developed Countries (LDC)
Group; and Norway. All seven proposals are aimed at reaching a decision
by December at the 11th Ministerial Conference in Buenos Aires.
Earlier, at the 18 July meeting of
the NGR, WTO members had assented to the preparation of this document.
The chair had said that the proponents had asked him, with the help of
the WTO Secretariat, to prepare the compilation matrix on their behalf.
He emphasized that this will not be a chair’s proposed text, but a
simple compilation of members’ proposals with nothing added or
subtracted.
