Article 3 
 
 The following is incorporated as Annex 3.09 (R estrictions on Export Subsidy Programmes) of 
the Agreement:  
1. The Parties recognise that domestic support measures can be of importance to their 
agricultural sectors but may also distort trade and affect production.  The Parties shall accordingly 
apply domestic support as determined in multilatera l agricultural negotiations within the framework 
of the WTO Agreement, and when a Party deci des to support its agricultural producers it shall 
endeavour to work towards domestic support measures that:   
(a) Have minimal or no trade-distorting effects or effects on production;  and 
(b) conform fully to the provisions of Annex 2 of the Agreement on Agriculture, which is 
a part of the WTO Agreement. 
2. To ensure transparency in agricultural support policies, the Parties agree to conduct ongoing 
monitoring and analysis of support measures applied.   To that end, they shall use as their main 
reference the information contained in their resp ective annual notifications to the WTO Committee on 
Agriculture and shall send a copy thereof directly to  each other.  Without prejudice to the foregoing, 
each Party may request additional information or clar ification from the other Party, which shall reply 
promptly.  Consultations on the resulting evaluation ma y take place between the Parties if one of them 
so requests in the Committee on Trade in Goods. 
3. The Parties express their willingness to act together with a view to achieving, at multilateral 
level, such adjustment to the provisions of A nnex 2 of the WTO Agreement on Agriculture as will 
ensure effectively that the measures set forth th erein cause no distortion to agricultural trade or 
production.  Accordingly, in their reciprocal trade the Parties may initiate investigations into unfair 
trade practices in connection with any measures whic h may cause or threaten to cause injury to the 
production or trade of the other Party, where such measures depart from the fundamental provisions 
of Annex 2 and/or Article 6.4(b) of the WTO Agreement on Agriculture. 
Exports Subsidies on Agricultural Products 
 
 As from five years following the entry into force of this Protocol, neither Party may maintain or introduce export subsidies on agricultural goods in reciprocal trade.  The Parties will nonetheless

Agreement of the Americas.
