Abstract
  • Subsidies are most often discussed within global fora (such as the World Trade Organiza­tion) in terms of concerns over trade distortions, if some countries gain an unfair advantage, through their subsidies, over unsubsidized industry elsewhere. In fisheries, this concern is matched by an en­vironmental argument – that fish stock depletion has been driven in part by high levels of fishing subsidies. While these two aspects have garnered most attention, subsi­dies are also recognized to have impacts on human development. This recognition partially explains the broader move to treat subsidies differ­ently between developing and developed countries, acknowledging their differing histories and needs. In addition, within the fishery sector spe­cifically, there is an understanding of two key realities: (1) that the negative aspects of subsidies are largely found in industrial rather than small-scale fisheries, and (2) that certain subsidies may provide support for the role of small-scale fisheries in pursuing the Sustainable Development Goals, and implementing the new Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries. Accordingly, fishery subsidies, particularly in small-scale fisheries, might be best evaluated using three criteria: trade distortions, environ­mental impacts, and the extent of contributing to or impeding progress toward human development. A win-win-win situation in small-scale fisheries will be one in which a subsidy is minimally trade distorting, and simultaneously supports human development needs and produces conserva­tion benefits (or at least avoids negative environmental and over-fishing impacts). This presentation explores global policy directions in subsidy reforms that support small-scale fisheries, and their associated social, economic, and human rights.
