ANTIGUA & BARBUDA SUPPORTS WTO’S AGREEMENT ON FISHERIES SUBSIDIES

Antigua & Barbuda has become the 95th territory to officially deposit its instrument of acceptance of the Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies at the World Trade Organization (WTO). 

The WTO Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies is a major step forward for ocean sustainability by prohibiting harmful fisheries subsidies, which are a key factor in the widespread depredation of the world’s fish stocks.  Ambassador Colin Murdoch, OECS Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the United Nations World Trade Organization, presented Antigua & Barbuda’s instrument of acceptance to Director-General Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala on Thursday April 3, 2025.
