PRÉPARATION DE LA CONFÉRENCE MINISTÉRIELLE DE 1999
Négociations sur l'agriculture
Soutien interne
Communication de l'Australie
La Mission permanente de l'Australie a fait parvenir au Secrétariat la communication ci-après,
datée du 30 avril 1999.
_______________
1. L'Australie a présenté dans le document WT/GC/W/156 la Déclaration sur une vision d'avenir
du Groupe de Cairns qui énonçait les objectifs du Groupe concernant les négociations surl'agriculture.  La proposition spécifique ci-après s'inscrit dans la logique de cette déclaration et elle est
présentée pour examen dans le cadre du processus préparatoire.
2. Proposition
2. Il est proposé que, dans le cadre des négociations sur l'agriculture, les Membres conviennent
de procéder à des réductions importantes du soutien interne pour tous les produits agricoles, ce qui
aura pour résultat d'éliminer toutes les subventions internes ayant des effets de distorsion sur le
commerce et d'autoriser uniquement les formes de soutien qui n'ont pas de tels effets.
3. Genèse de la proposition
3. Le niveau du soutien à l'agriculture dans les pays de l'OCDE reste très élevé, les transferts
totaux à l'agriculture ayant atteint 280 milliards de dollars EU en 1997.  Beaucoup de mesures de
soutien utilisées, spécialement par les pays développés, entrent dans la catégorie MGS ou dans la
catégorie bleue et faussent le commerce et la production.  Ces politiques de soutien interne ont deseffets négatifs sur les politiques commerciales et agricoles.  Les niveaux élevés du soutien
encouragent la surproduction et sont à l'origine des problèmes que l'on voit apparaître sur les marchés
mondiaux.
4. Les négociateurs du Cycle d'Uruguay ont plac é des limites au niveau du soutien MGS qui
peut être fourni, et ce niveau est actuellement réduit de 20 pour cent.  Les Membres dont le soutienMGS fait l'objet d'une réduction sont au nombre de 28 seulement.  Les pays développés Membres
représentent environ 90 pour cent de ce soutien.  Les mesures de subvention dites de la "catégorie
bleue", qui ont été utilisées seulement par cinq Membres de l'OMC, continuent de n'être assujetties à
aucune limitation.  Il faut éliminer tout soutien interne qui fausse les échanges pour tous les produits
agricoles afin d'atteindre les objectifs que sont la mise en place d'un système de commerce desWT/GC/W/177
Page 2
produits agricoles loyal et orienté vers le marché ainsi que la correction et la prévention des
distorsions sur les marchés mondiaux de produits agricoles.  Cette élimination s'inscrit dans la logique
de l'objectif consistant à mettre le commerce des produits agricoles sur le même pied que les autres
marchandises.
5. Les Membres seront toujours autorisés à accorder à leurs producteurs agricoles un soutien
n'ayant pas d'effet de distorsion sur les échanges en faveur d'objectifs tels que l'amélioration des
infrastructures, la recherche et la formation, le soutien des revenus, l'aide en cas de catastrophe,
l'investissement et l'environnement.

MEXICO – CERTAIN MEASURES PREVENTING THE
IMPORTATION OF BLACK BEANS FROM NICARAGUA
Request to Join Consultations
Communication from Canada
The following communication, dated 28 March 2003, from the Permanent Mission of Canada
to the Permanent Mission of Mexico, the Permanent Mission of Nicaragua and to the Chairman of the
Dispute Settlement Body, is circulated in accordance with Article 4.11 of the DSU.
_______________
Pursuant to Article 4.11 of the Understanding on Rules and Procedures Governing the
Settlement of Disputes  (DSU), the Government of Canada hereby notifies its desire to be joined in
consultations requested by Nicaragua pursuant to Article 11.1 of the Agreement on the Application of
Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures , Article 6 of the Agreement on Import Licensing Procedures ,
Article XXII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994  and Article 4 of the DSU, with
respect to certain measures preventing the importation of black beans from Nicaragua.  The relevant
communication from the Permanent Mission of Nicaragua to the Permanent Mission of Mexico, dated
17 March 2003, was circulated to WTO Members on 20 March 2003 (WT/DS284/1;  G/L/614;G/LIC/D/37;  G/SPS/GEN/375).
Canada has both a commercial and systemic interest in the issues under consultation.  As
Mexico is Canada's fourth-largest trading partner and is a significant importer of beans from Canada,
Canada has a substantial trade interest in these consultations.  Moreover, Canada has a significantsystemic interest in the proper interpretation of WTO disciplines applicable to quota allocation and
general import procedures, as cited by Nicaragua in its request for consultations.
