🌊It’s official: the WTO Agreement on #FisheriesSubsidies is now in force!

At a special General Council meeting, Brazil, Kenya, Tonga & Viet Nam accepted the Agreement, taking us over the two-thirds threshold.

The first-ever WTO deal on environmental sustainability is here!

[WTO @wto]

🐟 Get ready for a historic achievement!

On 15 September, WTO members will mark the entry into force of the Agreement on #FisheriesSubsidies, the first WTO multilateral agreement with environmental sustainability at its core.

🌊 The countdown has begun — and the oceans are calling!

Today, with Nicaragua’s ratification, we’re just 10 steps away from bringing the WTO Agreement on #FisheriesSubsidies into motion.

Every day counts.
Every act counts.

Happy to join the @UN family at the Secretary General’s @antonioguterres Chief Executives Board Meeting in Copenhagen. Multilateralism is under stress, but there’s never been a time when it is more needed. Let’s fix what needs fixing with, and it is true that important reforms are needed to modernize and make Multilateral Organisations fit for the 21st century and for the times we are in, but let’s remember that Multilateral Organisations have delivered mightily for the world, including the most vulnerable people!

Imagine being penalised in 🇨🇳 for going to court in 🇪🇺 to defend your patents.

That’s what happened to some EU companies.

We’ve appealed a @wto ruling that didn’t fully recognise how serious this is. It’s about fairness and standing by the rules.

Congratulations to my friend @NOIweala for her reappointment as Director General of the @wto for a 2nd term. The WTO has in you a tireless advocate for multilateralism, fair #trade, and the cause of developing countries, especially in #Africa, for a better deal.

[Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala @NOIweala]

Today, it is with humility and a great sense of honour that I thank each and every one of the 166 WTO members for the consensus they achieved in supporting my reappointment! Thank you for the wonderful words of recognition and support. I don’t take this lightly. I also want to thank my colleagues in the Secretariat Staff for their dedication and hard work.

This is an enormous responsibility and I will redouble my efforts to work with each and every member to try and deliver the results this organization needs, including the necessary reforms to make it fit for 21st century challenges. We’ve done it before, we can do it again! I am also grateful to my family, my country, to the Africa Region, and to all my friends and colleagues from all over the world who have reached out with hundreds of congratulatory messages. Thank you for the recognition!
