About this statute

This article says the agreement applies to certain subsidies for marine wild capture fishing and fishing-related activities at sea. This article defines key terms used in the agreement, including fish, fishing, fishing-related activities, vessel, and operator. Members must not grant or keep subsidies for vessels or operators involved in IUU fishing, and subsidizing Members must notify the Committee of measures taken under this rule. Members that grant subsidies must notify the Committee about measures taken under Article 3.1; all Members must have rules and procedures to prevent certain subsidies from being granted or kept; and, if a port State Member reports suspected IUU fishing, the subsidizing Member must consider the information and act on its subsidies as it sees fit. Members must not grant or keep subsidies for fishing or fishing-related activities for overfished stocks, except where the subsidies or other measures are used to rebuild the stock to a biologically sustainable level.
