Les subventions à la pêche à la croisée des chemins pourquoi la CM14 pourrait déterminer l’avenir de la durabilité des océans

The 2022 WTO Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies, which entered into force in September 2025, prohibits subsidies for illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing and overexploited stocks. However, it does not address the broader structural causes of overcapacity. The upcoming MC14 in Yaoundé, Cameroon, is a critical juncture for negotiating 'Phase 2' disciplines. Failure to adopt these additional rules by September 2029 will trigger a sunset clause, potentially terminating the entire 2022 agreement.

• The 2022 WTO Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies, known as 'Phase 1', prohibits subsidies for the most harmful activities, specifically illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing, fishing in overexploited stocks without recovery measures, and unregulated high-seas fishing.
• Current global fishing subsidies are heavily skewed toward industrial fleets; of the estimated 35.4 billion USD in global subsidies in 2018, over 80% went to large-scale industrial fleets, while only 19% supported artisanal fishing.
• The 2022 Agreement contains a sunset clause stating that if additional global disciplines on fishing subsidies are not adopted within four years of its entry into force (by September 2029), the entire agreement will automatically terminate unless WTO members decide otherwise.
• Negotiations for 'Phase 2' disciplines aim to preventively regulate subsidies that contribute to general fleet overcapacity and overfishing, rather than just addressing extreme cases, to tackle the structural causes of ocean depletion.
