Figure 5.2 Option 1 – S&D eligibility criteria without specific S&D subsidies list

Figure 5.3 Option 2 – S&D eligibility criteria plus specific S&D subsidies list

Another option could be designing an explicit ‘S&D Box’ that would list specific fisheries subsidies, not included in any ‘Green Box’, that developing countries meeting the suggested eligibility criteria, could provide.

Depending on what WTO members may agree on, these potential S&D subsidies could, among other things, include some or all of the subsidies that have been previously suggested by various developing countries in the context of the fisheries subsidies negotiations and others. Such subsidies could, qualitatively, be those that are effective and easily accessible to developing countries lacking adequate human, financial and institutional resources, and hence address the development needs of these countries. However, they should not result in IUU fishing, nor should they be allowed to enhance capacity beyond the scientifically determined sustainable level of exploitation.
