It was held at Uroa Beach, Zanzibar, United Republic of Tanzania, from 24 to 27 July 2001. The Workshop discussed the main working documents presented by the project steering committee: a comparative analysis of the fisheries legal frameworks of SADC coastal countries ; an analysis of international and intraregional trade of fisheries products; and a synthesis of the national reports prepared by the countries. Three working groups were created to discuss elements dealing with trade, legal and fisheries management issues, respectively, taking into consideration the relevant articles of the FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries. The three working groups evaluated the documents provided by the project steering committee and improved the list of propose d activities. These were also ranked in order of priority at national and regional levels, and general mechanisms for their implementation were proposed. On the basis of the work of these subgroups, elements for an Action Plan were identified at the regional level taking into consideration the relevant provisions of the Protocol on Fisheries to the SADC Treaty. -

No results found.The Regional Workshop on the Effects of Globalization and Deregulation on Marine Capture Fisheries in Asia and the Pacific was hosted by the Korea Maritime Institute (KMI) and organized by the Fishery Industries Division of FAO in cooperation with the Asia Pacific Rural and Agricultural Credit Association (APRACA). The findings and recommendations of the Workshop suggest that many countries in Asia and the Pacific benefited and expect to continue to benefit from globalization and deregulation. These benefits include improved quality and better access of their fishery products to markets in other countries within and outside of Asia and the Pacific, increased export earnings, better exchange of technology, increased productivity and efficiency and better supply of fishery products for local populations through liberalization of imports of fishery products. Negative effects of globalization and deregulation identified in the Workshop included increased competition for the small-scale do mestic fisheries sector mainly through import of low priced fish products. It was felt that special measures are needed to protect and strengthen this sector. These included technical assistance, training and investment support as well as possibly fiscal measures and economic incentives.
