The local commercial fisheries sector is urging the government to form a stronger team to represent the industry in the ongoing negotiations of the World Trade Organization (WTO) on non-market agricultural access (NAMA).


Augusto Natividad, president of Frabelle-Frescomar Corp. and vice-chairman of the  Philippine Tuna Industry Council (PTIC), said the fishing sector is increasingly growing restive over what they perceive as the weakness of the existing NAMA negotiators to the WTO.

                    [Summary] => The European Commission (EU) has rejected the request of the Philippines for an increase in preferential tuna quota, EC Charge d’Affaires Luc Van de Bon announced over the weekend.


According to Van de Bon, the EC rejected the Philippines’ request for an increase in tuna quota following the country’s failure to show that there has been a significant increase in tuna exports to the EU.


Based on EC statistics, Van de Bon said, there has been no significant increase in Philippine tuna exports to the EU that would justify an increase in the existing quota.
