Before the full Assembly of the National Assembly, the Minister of Commerce and Industries, Julio Moltó, presented two draft bills for approval. One of the projects aims to strengthen regional trade integration through the signing of strategic agreements.
As for the second project presented, it seeks the adoption of an agreement that prohibits subsidies for illegal fishing. Julio Moltó highlighted the importance of this initiative to combat illegal fishing and protect marine resources. According to the minister, illegal fishing poses a threat to environmental sustainability and the economy of the region.
"It is essential that we adopt effective measures to end illegal fishing and ensure the conservation of our oceans," emphasized Julio Moltó during his speech before the National Assembly. The prohibition of subsidies for illegal fishing is a key step in the fight against this issue that affects not only Panama but globally.
The presentation of these draft bills reflects the commitment of the Panamanian government to environmental protection and the promotion of sustainable trade practices in the region. It is expected that both proposals will be discussed and approved in the National Assembly in order to strengthen regional integration and protect Panama's marine resources.
