                    [Summary] => The local tuna sector is urging the Department of Agriculture (DA) to renegotiate with the European Commission (EC) for an increase in the volume of canned tuna shipments enjoying a lower duty of 12 percent.


The EC earlier announced it rejected a request by the Philippines for a higher tuna allocation at the reduced tariff of 12 percent. The lower tariff for Philippine exports of canned tuna to the European Union (EU) market is projected to boost the country’s shipments by as much as 20 percent annually.
