ABSTRACT
The Support unit for International Fisheries and Aquatic Research (SIFAR)
conceived and organized an international workshop on fiscal reform for
fisheries, which was hosted by FAO from 13 to 15 October 2003 in Rome,
Italy. A key goal of the workshop was to discuss the best use of fiscal
methods to achieve both fisheries policy objectives, and broader economic,
social and environmental objectives.
This supplement to the Report of the Workshop and Exchange of
Views on Fiscal Reforms for Fisheries - to Promote Growth, Poverty Eradication
and Sustainable Management, No. 732, presents a compilation of country
papers prepared by workshop participants - all key policy-makers from
ministries of finance and fisheries, and researchers in their countries
of origin. The country papers are based both on personal experience and
secondary material, and provide an overview of the following:
- experience with fishery fiscal reforms focusing on international
and national levels of fisheries policy and governance;
- experience of fisheries access agreements within effective fiscal
policy and management regimes;
- challenges facing implementation of fiscal reform and how these may
have been tackled including the need for more information;
- areas where improvements can be made.
Country papers presented in this supplement provided the basis to discussions
at the Workshop.
