The European Camber of Commerce of the Philippines (ECCP) said it supports the Senate’s ratification of the High Seas treaty, saying this backs sustainable livelihoods, food security and scientific innovations in the Philippines. “This milestone underscores the Philippines’ strong commitment to protecting the environment by strengthening marine protected areas, requiring environmental impact assessments, and advancing capacity-building and marine technology transfer for developing countries like the Philippines,” ECCP said in a statement on Wednesday.
