SUBSIDIES AND COUNTERVAILING MEASURES
I. ORGANIZATION OF THE WORK OF THE COMMITTEE
1. This Report covers the period since the Committee's last annual report (G/L/408), that is,
8 November 2000-31 October 2001 (hereinafter "the review period").  During the review period, the
Committee held two regular meetings and seven special meetings.  Regular meetings of the
Committee were held on 2-3 May (G/SCM/M/28) and 31 October 2001 (G/SCM/M/34).  Special
meetings were held on 9 February (G/SCM/M/27), 16 May (G/SCM/M/29), 31 May (G/SCM/M/30),
27 July (G/SCM/M/31), 28 September (G/SCM/M/32), 25 October (G/SCM/M/33), and31 October 2001 (G/SCM/M/35).  Pursuant to the Committee’s decisions at its regular meeting in
October 1998, the OECD and the ACP Group were invited on an ad hoc  basis to attend these
meetings.
2. As of the beginning of the review period, Ms. Usha Dwarka-Canabady (Mauritius) was Chair,
and Mr. Hiromi Yano (Japan) was Vice Chair, of the Committee.  At its regular meeting in May 2001,the Committee elected Mr. Remo Moretta (Australia) as Chair, and Mr. Leo Palma (Philippines) as
Vice Chair, of the Committee.  Pursuant to the Committee's Rules of Procedure, they took office at
the end of that meeting.
II. OBSERVERSHIP – INTERNATIONAL INTERGOVERNMENTAL
ORGANIZATIONS
3. During the period of review, the requests of Co mesa and the Gulf Organization for Industrial
Consulting for observership in the Committee remained pending.  These requests are the subject ofongoing 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, withregard to whether a measure is a prohibited subsidy; to provide Members with confidential advisory
opinions 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: Mr. Gary Horlick; Professor R.G. Flores Junior; Dr. Marco Bronckers; and Mr. Hyung-Jin Kim.  There was one vacancy on the PGE to be filled, following the resignation of Mr. Ganesan
effective 18 May 2000 in view of his appointment to the Appellate Body as of 1 June 2000.
5. At its 9 February 2001 special meeting, the Committee elected Prof. Okan Aktan to replace
Mr. Ganesan, for the remainder of Mr. Ganesan's term  of office, which expires in Spring 2002.  At itsG/L/496
Page 2
2-3 May 2001 regular meeting, the Committee elected Mr. Jorge Castro Bernieri to replace
Mr. Horlick, whose term of office expired in Spring 2001.
IV. NOTIFICATION OF SUBSIDIES
6. 2001 new and full notifications.  Pursuant to Article 25.1 of the Agreement and Article XVI:1
of GATT 1994, all Members of the Committee were required to submit a new and full notification of
subsidies to the Committee by 30 June 2001.  As of 31 October 2001, only 10 WTO Members1 had
notified subsidies pursuant to Article 25 of the Agreement and Article XVI of GATT 1994.  In
addition, 13 Members had notified that they maintain no subsidies notifiable pursuant to these
provisions.  These notifications may be found in document series G/SCM/N/ 71/... .  104 Members had
submitted no notification as of the close of the period covered by this Report.  A table indicating the
status of 2001 subsidy notifications is reproduced in Annex A to this Report.
7. Pursuant to the procedures agreed at its 2-3 May regular meeting, the Committee held a
special meeting on 31 October 2001 to review 2001 new and full notifications.  At that meeting, the
Committee reviewed the notifications of Cuba; Gabon; Hong Kong, China; Macao, China; Oman;
Switzerland; Thailand; and Tunisia.   The review of the notifications of Paraguay and Zimbabwe,
which were on the agenda for review at that meeting, could not be conducted as no answers were
provided in writing or orally to the written questions that had been posed.  The review of thesenotifications thus was deferred to the Committee' s next special meeting to review 2001 new and full
notifications, which will be held back-to-back with the Committee's regular meeting in spring 2002.
8. 1997, 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 1997, 30 June 1999, and 30 June 2000, and that new and full notifications were to besubmitted by 30 June 1998.  As of 31 October 2001, 44 updating notifications for 1997, 43 updating
notifications for 1999, and 35 updating notifications for 2000 had been received
2, as well as 50 new
and full notifications for 1998.  These notifications  may be found in document series G/SCM/N/25/...,
G/SCM/N/48/…, and G/SCM/ N/60/…, and G/SCM/N/38/…, respec tively .  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 2001, the Committee continued its review of 1997, 1999, and 2000 updating
notifications, and 1998 new and full notifications.
9. Status report on subsidy notifications.  The Se cretariat circulated an updated status report on
subsidy notifications in document G/SCM/37, which was considered at the meeting of the Working
Party on Subsidy Notifications on 30 October 2001 (see below).
10. Committee decisions concerning subsidy notifications.  At its regular meeting of 2-
3 May 2001, the Committee adopted procedures for the review of 2001 new and full notifications
(G/SCM/W/441).  At its special meeting of 31 May 2001 (G/SCM/M/30), the Committee requested
the Working Party on Subsidy Notifications to revi ew the subsidy notification format in G/SCM/6,
with a view to identifying means to facilitate th e presentational aspects of the required information.
The Committee also requested the Secretariat to look into organizing a subsidy notification seminar in
Geneva, back-to-back with the spring 2002 regular meeting, and to report back to the Committee atthe earliest possible date on all practical and financial aspects of the seminar on notifications.  The
Committee also took note of the Chair's statement 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-emphasising the review of annual updating notifications.

V. WORKING PARTY ON SUBSIDY NOTIFICATIONS
11. The Working Party on Subsidy Notifications met on 2 April and 1 May 2001 to discuss the
following two topics: (i) ways to reduce the burden of subsidy notification while maintaining
transparency; and (ii) procedures for the review of the 2001 new and full notifications which were due
on 30 June 2001.  As indicated above, these topics were pursued in the Committee's formal meetingsheld on 9 February 2001 (G/SCM/M/27), 2-3 May 2001 (G/SCM/M/28), 16 May 2001
(G/SCM/M/29), and 31 May 2001 (G/SCM/M/30).  Th e Working Party also met on 30 October 2001
to discuss the Committee's request to the Working Party to consider ways to simplify the
presentational aspects of subsidy notifications (G/SCM/6); and the Committee's request to the
Secretariat to explore the possibilities for holding a subsidy notification seminar back-to-back with the
Spring 2002 regular meeting of the Committee.  At the Committee's regular meeting of
31 October 2001 (G/SCM/M/34), the Chairman presented a report on the 30 October 2001 meeting ofthe Working Party.
VI. NOTIFICATION AND EXAMINATION OF COUNTERVAILING DUTY LAWS

VIII.  REPORTS ON ALL PRELIMINARY OR FINAL COUNTERVAILING DUTY
ACTIONS
18. Pursuant to Article 25.11 of the Agreement, Members are to report to the Committee without
delay all preliminary and final countervailing actions taken.  Guidelines for the information to be
contained in these reports are set forth in G/SCM/3.  As of 31 October 2001, reports of preliminary
and final countervailing actions had been received during the review period from Argentina;
Australia; Canada; the European Communities; Peru; South Africa; and the United States(G/SCM/N/67, 69, 70, 72, 73, 76, 77, and 78). The Committee reviewed the notifications of
preliminary and final actions at its regular meetings in May and October 2001.
IX. IMPLEMENTATION-RELATED ISSUES REFERRED TO THE COMMITTEE BY
THE GENERAL COUNCIL
19. In its decision of 15 December 2000, the General Council referred to the Committee the
following three issues: (i) all issues related to Articles 27.5 and 27.6 of the SCM Agreement,
including the possibility to establish export competitiveness on the basis of a period longer than three
years; and (ii) and (iii) the issues of aggregate and generalised rates of remission of import duties; and
of the definition of "inputs consumed in the production process", taking into account the particular
needs of developing countries.
20. On 9 February 2001, the Committee adopted procedures for its consideration of these issues
(G/SCM/30), including that the Committee would direct  the Chair to provide an interim report to the
General Council  with a view to concluding work by 31 July 2001.  In addition to its 9 February 2001
special meeting to adopt procedures, the Committee met in informal session to discuss the substance
of the referred issues on 2 April, 1 May, 31 May, 22 June, and 20 July 2001, and in formal session on27 July 2001.  The Chair submitted a report (G/SCM/34) to the General Council on 31 July 2001
covering the Committee's activities on the referred issues up to that point.
21. At the 31 July 2001 informal meeting of the General Council, the Chair of the General
Council indicated his intention to request that the SCM Committee take up two further issues, and
report back to the General Council by 30 September 2001.  This request was conveyed to the Chair of
the SCM Committee in a communication of 2 August 2001 from the Chair of the General Council.
The two further issues were: (i) a review of the provisions of the SCM Agreement regardingcountervailing duty investigations; and (ii) the implementation of Article 27 of the SCM  Agreement
as it relates to particular issues concerning developing country Members with a small percentage
share of exports in import markets and in global trade.
22. The SCM Committee had agreed at its meeting of 27 July 2001 that any new referrals that it
might receive from the General Council would be considered using the same basic procedures as hadbeen followed for the referrals of December 2000.  Following the 2 August referrals, new proposals
were received from El Salvador and Jamaica in respect of the issue of developing country Members
with a small share of trade, and from India and Brazil in respect of countervailing duty procedures.
23. The Committee met on 11, 18, and 28 September 2001 in informal session, and on
28 September 2001 in formal session, to discuss the substance of the two new referred issues, and toG/L/496
Page 5
continue work on the referrals of 15 December 2000.  At its formal meeting of 28 September 2001,
the Committee agreed on a work plan of meetings and consultations that it would pursue through
26 October 2001, in the event that the General Council decided to extend the Committee's mandate in
respect of the implementation-related issues referred to it.  The Chair submitted a report (G/SCM/36)
to the General Council on 30 September 2001 covering the Committee's activities on the referredissues between 1 August 2001 and 30 September 2001.
24. By letter dated 3 October 2001, the Chair of the General Council indicated to the Committee
Chair that it would be very useful to the General Council's ongoing process on implementation for the
Committee to continue to work, through 26 October 2001, on the issues that had been referred to it,
with the Committee Chair making a further report  on these matters on 26 October 2001.  Accordingly,
and on the basis of its previously-agreed work plan, the Committee met in informal session on 12 and
25 October 2001, and in formal session on 25 October 2001, to continue its consideration of thereferrals.
25. On 15 October 2001, the Chair of the General Council sent a letter to the Committee Chair,
requesting that the Committee take up the question of precisely how and by whom the calculation of
constant 1990 dollars, referred to in a proposal in the Draft Decision on Implementation-Related
Issues and Concerns  (Job(01)/139) regarding the calculation of GNP per capita for the purposes of
Annex VII(b) of the SCM Agreement, could be performed.  The Chair of the General Council
requested that the Committee Chair report to the General Council on this matter on 26 October 2001.
This issue was considered by the Committee and included in the Committee Chair's 26 October 2001
report (See below).
26. The Chair of the Committee submitted a report (G/SCM/38) to the General Council on
26 October 2001 covering the Committee's activities on the referred issues between 1 and
25 October 2001.
X. REQUESTS FOR EXTENSION OF THE TRANSITION PERIOD FOR EXPORT
SUBSIDIES PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 27.4
27. At its 2-3 May 2001 regular meeting, the Committee took note (under "other business") of a
request from Papua New Guinea for an extension of the transition period for export subsidies pursuant
to Article 27.4 (G/SCM/N/74/PNG), which was dated 27 April 2001 and thus was not received in
time to be placed on the agenda for consideration at that meeting.  Papua New Guinea's request was
considered by the Committee at its regular meeting of 31 October 2001.  Papua New Guinea was not
represented at the meeting.  The Committee decided to defer its consideration of this request to 2002.
XI. OTHER MATTERS DISCUSSED BY THE COMMITTEE
