SUMMARY:Webinar on fisheries subsidies and the current negotiations at the 
 WTO
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:APFIC\, FAO and UNCTAD are organizing a webinar on fisheries su
 bsidies and the current negotiations at the World Trade Organization (WTO)
 . The webinar will integrate an on-the-ground examination of the history a
 nd analysis of critical outstanding issues central to the discussions on f
 isheries subsidies.\n\nThe webinar will also discuss the various multilate
 ral trade\, oceans and fisheries governance frameworks and how these are i
 ntegrated into the negotiations. The experts will elaborate on multiple in
 struments that encompass fisheries management\, trade\, and governance obj
 ectives that address some of the WTO negotiations mandate&#039\;s key pill
 ars.\n\nThe event will also inform about the availability of country suppo
 rt involving possible implementation of an agreement on fisheries subsidie
 s\, including interagency cooperation and technical assistance support. Co
 operation under the UNCTAD-FAO-UNEP Inter-Agency Plan of Action will be pr
 esented as a suitable vehicle for coherent and timely support for the Asia
  Pacific Region.\n\nIn summary\, the webinar aims to provide a forum to en
 hance the understanding of the negotiation history of fisheries subsidies 
 at the WTO\, its main pillars and their interconnectivity with existing in
 struments\, and what are the various proposals and the main approaches bei
 ng discussed. A comprehensive picture of this complex and intricated proce
 ss of the negotiations on fisheries subsidies will allow countries in the 
 Asian-Pacific region to better understand the possible formats of the futu
 re disciplines\, eventual impacts and implementation needs\, including spe
 cific requirements of technical support. Following the webinar\, participa
 nts will have the opportunity to schedule individual virtual appointments 
 with FAO and UNCTAD experts.\n\n \n/system/files/official-document/ditc-t
