WTO Ministerial Conference (MC10) Ministers adopted the Decision on Export
Competition (WT/MIN(15)/45; WT/L/980 of 19 December 2015 henceforth the Nairobi
Decision). The Cairns Group welcomed this historic Decision as an important
milestone in the reform process. Importantly, the Decision represented a
legally binding commitment to both eliminate export subsidies, and further
discipline measures with equivalent effect.
