The organisers recognise the inadequate information
flow and the lack of information on the ongoing
issues and debates. The EU is preparing a new
round of bilateral agreements with a view to securing
access on the basis of sustainable and responsible
fishing. In this timely context, the workshop
discussed topics such as the reduction and reform
of harmful subsidies, the long-term recovery plans
for over-exploitation of fish stocks, instalment
of fish bans on certain species, fisheries management,
and fair and sustainable fisheries agreements
with ACP countries.
Format
2 days meeting in English and French - Plenary
sessions with main presentations followed by discussions
and brainstorming sessions.
