NOTIFICATION  
Addendum  
The following submission from Switzerland and Liechtenstein, dated 18 August 2021, is being 
circulated at the request of the delegation of Switzerland . The addendum concerns domestic 
support commitments ( Table DS:1  and the relevant supporting tables) for t he calendar 
year 2019 . 
 
_______________  
 
 
The final amount of the refund of fuel tax to farmers, in Supporting Table DS:9, was CHF 65.1 million 
(rather than CHF 65.7 million). The corresponding total non -product -specific AMS is therefore 
CHF 988.9 million.  This same total should also appear in Supporting Table DS:4. This results in a 
current total AMS of CHF 1,433.4 million. The tables affected by this amendment are reproduced 
below. The final figures appear in bold type.
