The Royal Norwegian Embassy, the Norwegian Seafood Council (NSC) and related Philippine government agencies recently hosted the first-ever “Seafood Roundtable.” The roundtable was attended by more than 70 different seafood importers and exporters in the Philippines, together with national agencies such as the Department of Trade and Industry, Bureau of Customs and Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources to set the tone for facilitating seafood trade in the country. It also aimed at accelerating the utilization of the current free trade agreement between the Philippines and Norway under the European Free Trade Association’s Free Trade Agreement (EFTA-FTA).
