India seems to disagree with the data and the findings of a study carried out by UBC on fisheries subsidies.The Government is aware of a study done by University of British Colombia which primarily raises the issues of high fisheries subsidies. India has expressed strong reservations in the World Trade Organisation about the inaccuracies of data and findings of the said study.
The above comes from a press release by the Press Information Bureau of the Government of India, which was issued as a reaction of the Union Minister of Shipping,
Shri G.K. Vasan in a written reply to a question by Shri Manish Tewari
in Lok Sabha on 7 May 2012.
I found interesting that the text mentions that India's reservations where expressed "in the World Trade Organisation". Was this study discussed at the WTO negotiations on fisheries subsidies?
