    BFAR backs WTO ban on fisheries subsidies
    Ochave, Revin Mikhael D. (BusinessWorld Publishing Corporation, 2022-11-02)
    The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) said the Philippines must comply with a World Trade Organization (WTO) ban on fishing subsidies, which is designed to deter illegal fishing, even amid pressure from fishing organizations to provide government support for fisherfolk. Demosthenes R. Escoto, BFAR officer-in-charge, said that the WTO agreement against subsidies seeks to deter illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing (IUUF) and to restore overfished populations.

    PHL won't accept WTO fisheries deal without an 'IUUF' provision
    Arcalas, Jasper Emmanuel Y. (Philippine Business Daily Mirror Publishing, Inc., 2020-12-27)
    Manila maintains its stance to refuse supporting any fisheries subsidies deal at the World Trade Organization (WTO) that excludes a provision on “illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, or IUUF, infringements” in disputed waters. The Philippines had earlier proposed a new mechanism that would allow WTO member-countries to determine IUUF infringements in waters being claimed by two or more nations. But several countries, including China, which claims jurisdiction over the West Philippine Sea, opposed the proposal. Beijing argues that IUUF determination in disputed waters is not within the purview of the WTO.
