SUBSIDIES
United States
The
following communication, dated and received on 30 June 2025, is being
circulated at the request of the delegation of the United States.
_______________
Enclosed please
find the new and full notification from the United States, pursuant to
Article XVI:1 of the GATT 1994 and Article 25 of the Agreement on
Subsidies and Countervailing Measures (the Agreement) for the 2023 and 2024
fiscal years (1 October 2022 through 30 September 2024).
Information on programs granted or maintained at sub‑federal levels in the
United States is included in Attachment 1.
As noted in previous notifications from the
United States, insofar as the notification obligation is a transparency‑oriented
provision that, pursuant to Article 25.7 of the Agreement, carries no legal
weight as to the actual identification or measurement of a subsidy, its status
as an actionable subsidy, or its trade effects, the United States has included
certain activities in this notification which arguably are not (or are not
always) "specific subsidies" within the meaning of the Agreement.
