axonopodis pv. citri  (chancre des agrumes), afin de pouvoir accéder à différents marchés extérieurs, et
notamment celui des États-Un is d'Amérique du Nord.

préparatoire, suivie de l'échantillonnage progressif sur le terrain et des diagnostics respectifs faits en
laboratoire.
3. Le plan de travail a été exécuté conformément aux procédures établies dans la
Résolution n° 026 du Secrétariat général de la Communauté andine et dans le Protocole conclu entre

The Committee on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures (the “Committee”),
As directed by the Fourth Ministerial Conference, in its Decision on Implementation-Related
Issues and Concerns, (WT/MI N(01)/17, 20 November 2001);
In following the “Procedures for Extensions Under Article 27.4 for Certain Developing
Country Members” (G/SCM/39, 20 November 2001) ("the Procedures"), including paragraphs 1(d)
and 1(e) thereof;
Taking into account the request and other notified information provided by Grenada to the

was otherwise eligible to request an extension pursuant to Article 27.4 of the Agreement on Subsidiesand Countervailing Measures ("the SCM Agreement");
Taking note that  Grenada confirms that the programme has not been modified since
1 January 2003 so as to make it more favourable in terms of scope, coverage and intensity of benefits
than it was on 1 September 2001;
On the basis of  the review of the notified information by the Committee pursuant to
paragraphs 1(d) and 1(e) of the Procedures to verify Grenada's fulfilment, during the period reviewed
by the Committee in 2003, of its obligations with respect to the programme under the transparency

PREPARATIONS FOR THE 1999 MINISTERIAL CONFERENCE
Interrelationship Between Trade and Debt
Communication from Ecuador
The following communication, dated 1 October 1999, has been received from the Permanent
Mission of Ecuador.
_______________
Proposal
1. The third Ministerial Conference of the World Trade Organization should decide upon the
setting up of a Working Group to begin an exhaustive study of the relationship between trade and theexternal debt of developing countries.  The aim of  such a study would be to advance solutions to the
problem in a framework that respects the formulation of coherent policies that are compatible with
those countries' needs and to build a multilateral trading system that strengthens their economies.
Background
2. At present the World Trade Organization lacks the appropriate forum for Members to engage
in more in-depth examination of the interrelationship of trade and external debt.
3. External debt is one of the major problems confronting developing countries and has a direct
impact on various aspects of international trade.  Although this interrelationship has been studied by
other international organizations, the WTO needs to start analysing it from a wider perspective.  It
shall also be borne in mind that debt has serious implications for employment levels and social
security, draining off resources needed for satisfying the most basic human needs.  Debt hasexacerbated the poverty suffered by huge sectors of the world's population who live in developing
countries.  Furthermore, it has repercussions on the trade payment system and on economic
transactions between individual countries and the rest of the world.
4. After more than 20 years of adjustments to try and solve the problems caused by the heavy
burden of external debt servicing, the growth and economic development of a large number ofdeveloping countries remain subject to serious constraints and their progress could be curbed even
further.
