Corrigendum
In page 43, para 3.95 should read:
Various export-related measures on foodstuffs were
also subject to several specific questions in the Committee during this period.
These questions were raised on Argentina's measures on beef and some grains;
China's export prohibition on corn starch; Egypt's export restrictions on
wheat, flour, lentils, rice and some other products; Hungary's measure on wheat
and other grains; India's export restrictions on wheat and rice; Indonesia's
export restrictions on palm oil; Malaysia's export restrictions on chicken and
eggs; Mexico's export restriction on white corn; and Morocco's, Tajikistan's,
and Türkiye's export restrictions on some vegetables. The main thrust of all
these questions was on assessing the consistency of these measures with the
relevant WTO rules, ascertaining how the interests of affected importing
countries were considered and underlining the importance of timely
export-restricting notification to the Committee. In some cases, the concerned
Members subject to questions informed the Committee about an adjustment in the
scope of the measure, its complete elimination or even declined having applied
the export restriction.[1]
