  1. Iceland’s ambassador #EinarGunnarsson, who chairs the #WTO #FisheriesSubsidies negotiations, said today that he has detected “a real sense of urgency” among WTO members to conclude the talks’ “second wave” by the end of the year.

    But if WTO members genuinely want the 2022 agreement to take effect by the next Ministerial Conference in Abu Dhabi, Feb 2024, they have a real race on their hands.

    They’ll have to be faster than with the #TradeFacilitation Agreement.

  2. TODAY—Gabon = 39th ratification ("acceptance") of the #WTO #FisheriesSubsidies Agreement

    Still a long way to go.

    71 more needed to reach 110 = two-thirds of WTO members and activate the agreement in the ratifying countries.

    Updated chart showing #FisheriesSubsidies ratifications still lag behind the previous agreement, #TradeFacilitation.
