Background and Objectives
-
bring together policy makers and industry representatives from both developed and developing countries to discuss opportunities and challenges arising from the process of globalisation in the fishing sector with respect to the different elements of the value chain;
-
identify policy insights and lessons from this exchange of views and experiences and identify the issues and challenges in reaping the benefits from globalisation in each element of the value chain; and to
-
undertake a forward-looking assessment of the role of proactive policies in ensuring that society reaps the potential benefits from globalisation while minimising adverse impacts.
The objectives of the Workshop will be met through a series of sessions addressing the particular aspects and issues of globalisation faced by the various elements of the value chain. Each session will address: 1) the particularities of fish from wild harvest and aquaculture and 2) the special issues that developing countries are faced with.
To allow for as much discussion as possible, each session will contain a few (maximum three) presentations/papers followed by an opening discussant and plenary discussion.
