    "content": "preventing market distortion by prohibiting subsidies that provide unfair competitive advantages. Specifically, the Agreement bans subsidies for vessels engaged in illegal fishing. Illegal and unreported fishing is a major source of unaccounted for revenue. This is the more reason why we should be part of this Agreement so that we can monitor fishing activities in our waters and also be able to target the overfished stocks. It is important for us to note that countries that invest in fishing normally undertake stock taking of fish so that they can to know when their stocks are overfished. It is also equally important that we have this Agreement so that we can, at any one time, monitor the vessels that fish in our deep seas. It is, therefore, very important that I urge this House to join us in ensuring that we all join in the ratification of this Agreement on Fishery Subsidies. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to second."
