Based on a review of existing subsidy obligations and tabled negotiating proposals, the objectives of the paper Options for Improving the Transparency of Fisheries Subsidies are to identify the common elements of additional fisheries-related information proposed for new notification disciplines and discuss the feasibility of requiring all WTO members to provide this information; and to identify and briefly discuss a range of options through which WTO members could establish incentives to notify this information.
