Compliance with notification obligations
Note by the Secretariat[1]
Revision
The present document has been
prepared to assist the consideration of agenda item "overdue
notifications" during the October 2017 meeting of the Committee on
Agriculture. It reflects Members' compliance with their regular
notification obligations as of 5 October 2017.[2]
In preparing this overview, the
Secretariat has largely relied on the Agriculture Information Management System
(AG-IMS).[3]
[1] This document has been prepared under the Secretariat's own
responsibility and is without prejudice to the positions of Members or to their
rights and obligations under the WTO.
[2] G/AG/2 and G/AG/2/Add.1 refer. This document therefore does not
reflect the status of ad hoc notification requirements, i.e. those
relating to: (i) the triggering of the special safeguard provisions
(Tables MA:3 and MA:4); (ii) the introduction or modification of domestic
support measures for which exemption from reduction commitments is claimed
(Table DS:2); and (iii) export prohibitions and restrictions (Table ER:1).
