No Thumbnail AvailableBook (stand-alone)Technical bookThe Future of Preferential Trade Arrangements for Developing Countries and the Current Round of WTO Negotiations on Agriculture 2002Trade preferences for developing countries have been a feature of industrialized countries’ commercial policies for nearly 40 years. However, with overall trade liberalization, tariff preferences are gradually losing importance. In agriculture, on the other hand, they can still be potentially valuable because MFN tariffs are extremely high in many cases, though they are also in the process of being reduced. Yet, because of the ‘sensitive’ nature of their agricultural policies, developed countrie s have usually been reluctant to provide deep preferences for agricultural products. At the same time, some special preferential regimes have provided significant concessions for selected agricultural products, for limited groups of developing countries. The EU’s preferences for sugar imports from selected ACP countries are a case in point. Hence the picture is very diverse when it comes to preferential treatment of agricultural exports from developing countries.

Book (series)GuidelineResponsible fish utilization 1998These guidelines have been produced to support the implementation of the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries particularly with regard to the need for responsibility in the post-harvest sector of the fish producing industry. The industry that produces fish for food has three major areas of responsibility: to the consumer of the food to ensure that it is safe to eat, is of expected quality and nutritional value, to the resource to ensure that it is not wasted and to the envir onment to ensure that negative impacts are minimized. In addition the industry has a responsibility to itself to ensure the continued ability of many millions of people throughout the world to earn a gainful living from working within the industry. Article 11.1 of the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries and other related parts of the Code are concerned particularly with these responsibilities. This publication provides annotation to and guidance on these articles to assist those c harged with implementation of the Code to identify possible courses of action necessary to ensure that the industry is conducted in a sustainable manner.
