Reality Given in Fisheries
 Common Property , Open Access Management System
 Most traded Agricultural Product,
 Biological Limits, Carrying Capacity
 Most Vulnerable Sector on Changing Climate
 Concentration of Poorest Population
 Precautionary Principle
 WTO - Non Agricultural Market Access
Current Issues in NAMA
-Deeper cuts for developing countries than
developed countries (so where is the S and D for smaller
economies?)
-Tariff cuts now linked with flexibility—meaning the greater
flexibility you invoke, the greater tariff reduction you will
need to do and vise versa
--Anti-concentration—is the current provision in NAMA that
will essentially prevent countries from producing all supply
chain inputs
Regional and National Trade
Agreements (ASEAN)
 0 – 5 % tariff by 2015
 Harmonization of product procedures and standards
 Integration to global economy
 Single market
 Predictability of the Market
 RECIPE for Trade Liberalization
Implications
 Government Promotion of High Value Fish Species
through Aquaculture and Marine culture….heavily
dependent to trash fish from capture fisheries
 De link small producer to the processing plants, using
imported fish for processing and canning plants
Implication
 Dual Market ( domestic and International market),
two product standards
 Overfishing and Overcapacity
 Violation of Fishery Rights ,
 Poverty
