Abstract
  • The objective of this paper is to provide an analysis of the current state of fisheries subsidies worldwide, and how they are likely to affect the sustainability of fisheries. More specifically, I will review previous investigations of global subsidies issues, and give a brief overview of the impact of subsidies on key economic, social and environmental aspects of the fisheries sector; present and discuss the different types of subsidies proposed in the literature and how they are likely to affect our ability to manage fisheries sustainability through time; discuss and present the magnitude of fisheries subsidies worldwide, and analyse the most recent estimates at regional and global scale, by categories of subsidies. I conclude my talk by suggesting policy options for restructuring fisheries subsidies, drawing from the work of the E15 Expert Group on Fisheries and Oceans convened by the World Economic Forum and the International Centre for Trade and Sustainable Development.
