Committee on Subsidies
and Countervailing Measures
BACKGROUND AND TECHNICAL EXPLANATION
Note by the Secretariat
This paper is an update of G/SCM/37, the factual report on compliance with the annual
notification obligations under Article 25 of the Agreement.
The attached table shows, by notifying Member, the dates of submission1 of each notification
due since the entry into force of the WTO Agreements.  Nil notifications are identified as such.
The following Members have not made any subsidy notifications:  Albania (08.09.00);
Angola;  Bangladesh;  Central African Republi c;  Chad;  China, People's Republic (11.12.01);
Congo;  Democratic Republic of Congo;  Dj ibouti;  Estonia (13.11.99);  Georgia (14.06.00);
Guinea Bissau;  Republic of Guinea;  Guyana;  Haiti;  Kenya;  Kuwait, Kyrgyz Republic(20.12.98);  Lesotho;  Madagascar;  Malawi;  Maldives;  Malta;  Mauritania;  Moldova
(27.07.01);  Mongolia (29.01.97);  Mozambique;  Myanmar;  Niger;  Rwanda;  Sierra Leone;
Solomon Islands (26.07.96);  Tanzania;  Togo .  For those Members that are not original WTO
Members, the dates of entry into force are indicated in parentheses.
                                                     
1 In the few cases where the date of submission does not appear in the notification, the date of
circulation is shown instead. Where a single notification covers more than one period, and thus carries multipledocument symbols, the date of submission generally appears in the table only once, and a range of symbols is
used to indicate all of the periods covered by that notifi cation.  These symbols are explained in a series of notes
at the end of the table.  The symbol “NS” indicates that no notification has been submitted by the Member forthe relevant period.  Only those Members that have made at least one subsidy notification to date are included inthe table.This document has been prepared under the Secretariat's own
responsibility and without prejudice to the positions of Members
and to their rights and obligations under the WTOG/SCM/44
