Simon Bush's keynote at MSC & ASC 2016 Netherlands Partner meeting
Tomorrow Simon Bush, chair of ENP, will give a keynote speech on future social challenges at the MSC & ASC 2016 Netherlands Partner meeting.
“MSC has been active for 20 years – The program has been very successful is some respects – but less successful in others. ASC has been active for 6 years now. As Hans just highlighted, MSC is at the start of a new strategic plan for 2017-2020, during which there will be some very important new developments:
1. wanting to become more relevant in the Global South, where participation in the program is still limited.
2. MSC has announced it wants to be dealing in one way or another with the social / labor dimension of fisheries, which is already addressed by ASC.
3. And MSC wants to actively position ourselves vis a vis FIPs. The same also holds true for ASC and AIPS.
