6.8. There is an urgent need for strong disciplines to regulate certain harmful fisheries subsidies to ensure the sustainable use of marine resources for securing inter-generational equity. At the same time, we need to be cognizant of the existence of a large population of subsistence artisanal and small-scale fishermen in developing countries, including LDCs, who rely on fishing for their basic livelihood. They have no other livelihood options, and we are all responsible to care for this vulnerable population of marginalized fishermen. This is precisely why both SDG 14.6 and the MC11 decision on fisheries, clearly mandate that there should be appropriate and effective special and differential treatment for developing countries including LDCs. Moreover, the present state of affair of the marine fisheries is on account of the big subsidizers’ and not countries like India. Moreover, adequate policy space is required to ensure a decent standard of living for our subsistence, artisanal and small-scale fishermen. Any discipline without considering these concerns would lead to complete imbalance between the elements of the discipline and the livelihood needs of those fishermen. India has been actively and constructively engaged in the negotiation of fisheries subsidies.
