ARGENTINA : fisheries agreement with China?

From time to time I have a look at fisheries websites around the world.

Recently I found a number of websites in Argentina that are commenting on the effective implementation by Argentina and China of a “Acuerdo de Cooperación sobre Pesca”.

I was struck by the fact that China would be offering cuts in import duties for products from Argentina. I wonder how China will be able to grant such duty cuts only to Argentina (because of the fisheries agreement) without going against the non-discrimination principles of the WTO.

Here are a few links to articles (in Spanish) about this issue.
