The Philippines is urging the European Commission (EC) to adopt a level playing field for canned tuna exporters, noting that the issue has been on the agenda for nine years.


Philippine canned tuna is subject to a tariff of 12 percent while canned tuna from African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) nations enjoy duty-free access to the EC market.


Likewise, Philippine canned tuna is subject to a limited quota. Exports exceeding that quota are subject to a higher tariff.
