ongoing consultations among Members.
III. PERMANENT GROUP OF EXPERTS
4. The Committee is required by Article 24.3 of the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing
Measures ("SCM Agreement" or "Agreement") to establish a Permanent Group of Experts ("PGE").
The tasks assigned to the PGE by the Agreement are to provide assistance to a Panel, on request, with
regard to whether a measure is a prohibited subsidy; to provide Members with confidential advisoryopinions on the nature of any subsidy proposed to be introduced or currently maintained by that
Member; and to provide the Committee with advisory opinions on the existence and nature of any
subsidy.  As of the beginning of the period under review, the members of the Permanent Group of
Experts were: Prof. Okan Aktan; Mr. Jorge Castro  Bernieri; Dr. Marco Bronckers; Professor R.G.
Flores Junior; and Mr. Hyung-Jin Kim.  At its May 2002 regular meeting, the Committee re-electedProfessor Aktan to serve another term.
IV. NOTIFICATION OF SUBSIDIES

subsidies to the Committee by 30 June 2001.  As of 31 October 2002, 391 WTO Members had
notified subsidies pursuant to Article 25 of the Agreement and Article XVI of GATT 1994.  In
addition, 15 Members had notified that they maintain no subsidies notifiable pursuant to these
provisions.  These notifications may be found in do cument series G/SCM/N/71/ ... .  A table indicating
the status of 2001 subsidy notifications is reproduced in Annex A to this Report.
6. Pursuant to the procedures agreed at its 2-3 May 2001 regular meeting, the Committee held
two special meetings, on 30 April and 31 October 2002, to review 2001 new and full notifications.  At
the 30 April meeting, the Committee reviewed the notifications of Belize, Burundi, Chile, the
European Communities, Ghana, Grenada, Guatemala, India, Korea, Latvia, Mali, Namibia, Singapore,
and Turkey, and reverted to the review of notifications of Paraguay and Zimbabwe.  At the
31 October meeting, the Committee reviewed the notifications of Antigua and Barbuda; Australia;
Barbados; Belize; Botswana; Colombia; Costa Rica; Croatia; Dominica; Dominican Republic;El Salvador; Fiji; Grenada; Jamaica; Jordan; Mauritius; Panama; Papua New Guinea; Saint Kitts and
Nevis; Saint Lucia; Saint Vincent and the Grenadines; Suriname; and Uruguay.  On the basis of a
decision at its 25 July 2002 special meeting, the Committee also reviewed the new and full
notifications of Japan, Norway, Slovenia, Separate Customs Territory of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen
and Matsu, and the United States, all of which had been received too late to be put on the agendaunder the normal agreed procedures.
7. 1999 and 2000 updating notifications, and 1998 new and full notifications.  Article 25.1 of the
Agreement requires that updating notifications were to be submitted by 30 June 1999, and
30 June 2000, and that new and full notifications were to be submitted by 30 June 1998.  As of
31 October 2002, 47 updating notifications for 1999, and 40 updating notifications for 2000 had beenreceived
2, as well as 54 new and full notifications for 1998.  These notifications may be found in
document series G/SCM/N/48/…, and G/SCM/N/60/…, a nd G/SCM/N/38/…, respectively.  See
Annexes B and C to this Report for the status of the 1999 and 2000 updating notifications.  At its
regular meetings in May and October 2002, the Committee continued its review of 1999 and 2000
updating notifications, and 1998 new and full notifications.  The Chair recalled in this context thestatement of the Committee Chair at the May 2001 meeting (G/SCM/M/30) concerning Members'
views that their resources would be best utilised by giving maximum priority to submitting new and
full notifications every two years, and by de-empha sising the review of annual updating notifications.
8. Status report on subsidy notifications.  The Se cretariat circulated an updated status report on
subsidy notifications in document G/SCM/44.
V. WORKING PARTY ON SUBSIDY NOTIFICATIONS
9. The Working Party on Subsidy Notifications met on 30 April 2002.  The Working Party
addressed two topics:  first, the budgetary and other aspects of the planned subsidies notification
seminar for capital-based officials scheduled to take place in October 2002 (on the basis of documents
G/SCM/W/506 and W/509); and second, difficulties encountered by Members in notifying subsidies
and the possible structure and content of the seminar, on the basis of document G/SCM/W/505.   The
Chair reported on the discussions in the Working Party at the regular May 2002 meeting(G/SCM/M/39).

XI. ISSUES REFERRED TO THE COMMITTEE BY THE DOHA MINISTERIAL
DECISION ON IMPLEMENTATION-RELATED ISSUES AND CONCERNS
A. 
REVIEW OF THE PROVISIONS OF THE AGREEMENT REGARDING COUNTERVAILING DUTY
INVESTIGATIONS
21. In paragraph 10.3 of the Decision on Implementation-Related Issues and Concerns (document
WT/MIN(01)/17) adopted on 14 November 2001 at  the Doha Ministerial Conference ("the
Implementation Decision"), Ministers:
"Agree[d] that the Committee on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures shall
continue its review of the provisions of the Agreement on Subsidies and
Countervailing Measures regarding countervailing duty investigations and report to
the General Council by 31 July 2002."
22. Pursuant to the mandate from Ministers at Doha, the Committee held six meetings, all during
the review period, to address the procedural and substantive aspects of this review.  The substance ofthe review was conducted on the basis of pr oposals from Brazil and India (in documents
G/SCM/W/462 and G/SCM/W/464) which were originally tabled prior to the Doha Ministerial
Conference ( see G/SCM/36 and G/SCM/38.)  The Committee meetings at which the review was
addressed took place on 13 December 2001, and 31 January, 13 March, 30 April, 17 June and
25 July 2002.  The relevant documents, including the written questions and answers exchanged duringthe review period, are found in documents:  G/SCM/W/474 - 479, /483, /486, /494, /496, /498, /502,
/503, /510-513, /515-520.  The Chair submitted a report (G/SCM/45) to the General Council on
29 July 2002 on the review.G/L/585
Page 5
B. CONSTANT DOLLAR METHODOLOGY
23. In paragraph 10.1 of the Decision on Implementation-Related Issues and Concerns, Ministers
agreed that Annex VII(b) to the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures included the
Members that were listed therein until their GNP per capita reached US$1,000 in constant 1990
dollars for three consecutive years.  This decision is to enter into effect upon the adoption by theCommittee of an appropriate methodology for calculating constant 1990 dollars or, if no such
consensus is reached by the Committee, then as of 1 January 2003, the methodology set forth in
G/SCM/38, Appendix 2, shall be applied.  At the May 2002 regular meeting, in the absence of any
proposals concerning methodology, the Committee agreed to revert to this matter as and when any
proposal might be received.  As of the end of the review period, no such proposals had been received.
XII. ARTICLE 27.4 REQUESTS FOR EXTENSION OF THE TRANSITION PERIOD FOR
EXPORT SUBSIDIES AND RESERVATIONS OF RIGHTS AS MEMBERS LISTEDIN ANNEX VII(B)
24. Pursuant to Article 27.4 of the Agreement, developing country Members subject to the eight-
year transition period in Article 27.2(b) for the elimination of export subsidies (which period expires
31 December 2002), had the possibility, not later than 31 December 2001, to enter into consultations
with the Committee to seek extension of this transition period, if those Members deemed it necessaryto apply such subsidies beyond the eight-year period.
25. Paragraph 10.6 of Implementation Decision states:
"Having regard to the particular situation of certain developing-country Members,
directs the Committee on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures to extend the
transition period, under the rubric of Article 27.4 of the Agreement on Subsidies andCountervailing Measures, for certain export subsidies provided by such Members,
pursuant to the procedures set forth in document G/SCM/39.  Furthermore, when
considering a request for an extension of the transition period under the rubric of
Article 27.4 of the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures, and in
order to avoid that Members at similar stages of development and having a similarorder of magnitude of share in world trade are treated differently in terms of receiving
such extensions for the same eligible programmes and the length of such extensions,
directs the Committee to extend the transition period for those developing countries,
after taking into account the relative competitiveness in relation to other developing-
country Members who have requested extension of the transition period following the
procedures set forth in document G/SCM/39."
26. A total of twenty-two Members sought extensions pursuant to Article 27.4.
4  Most of these are
requests based on the procedures contained in G/ SCM/39, several others are based  on Article 27.4
alone, and one is based on the language in paragraph 10.6 of the Implementation Decision.  In
addition, four Members listed in Annex VII(b)5 reserved rights, as provided for in G/SCM/39, to seek
extensions in the event that they graduate from Annex VII during the period in which other Membershave extensions in effect pursuant to G/SCM/39.  The Committee considered the extension requests
and the reservations of rights at special meetings on 13 March, 30 April-1 May, 17 June, 25 July,
19 September, and 31 October 2002.  The requests and reservations of rights can be found in

27. At the special meeting of 19 September 2002, the delegations of Australia, Canada, the
European Communities, Japan, Switzerland and the United States made a proposal relating toapproval of qualifying requests to extend the transition period for the elimination of certain export
subsidies provided by certain developing countries, pursuant to G/SCM/39 and paragraph 10.6 of the
Implementation Decision (G/SCM/M/42). This proposal was reverted to at the Committee's
31 October special meeting (G/SCM/M/43).
XIII.  NEGOTIATIONS
28. At the Fourth Ministerial Conference, Ministers agreed to negotiations aimed at clarifying and
improving disciplines under, inter alia , the Agreement, while preserving the basic concepts, principles
