Special Session
GREEN BOX MEASURES
Background Paper by the Secretariat
1. At the first Special Session of the Committee on Agriculture on 23-24 March 2000, it was
agreed that the Secretariat would provide, inter alia , "revised and updated background papers based
on notifications on tariff quotas, domestic support, and export subsidies" (paragraph 7(a) ofG/AG/NG/1).  The present paper is the second co ntribution in the area of domestic support.
1  It further
updates and revises the information presented in the Secretariat's paper on Green Box measures that
was provided within the framework of the Proce ss of Analysis and Information Exchange (AIE/S9
dated 19 June 1998 and AIE/S9/Rev.1 dated 27 May 1999).  The paper covers the implementation
years 1995 to 1999 and takes into account domestic support notifications circulated up to31 March 2000.

2. Annex 1 to this paper provides an overview of Green Box measures which were notified
under Supporting Table DS:1 of G/AG/2.  This Annex is intended to serve as a quick reference
showing for each reporting Member the Green Box categories (measure types) which are covered by
its notification(s).
3. Annex 2 lists Members' Green Box measures by category.  The information was taken from
the relevant notifications under Supporting Table DS:1 of G/AG/2, with minor editorial changes being
made where necessary.  In Annex 2 reference is also made to any new or modified Green Box
measures notified under Table DS:2 of G/AG/2.
4. Annex 3 lists Members' expenditures (including revenue foregone) for each Green Box
category.  The expenditure data were converted from national currencies into US dollars, using the
exchange rates as reported by the IMF in "International Financial Statistics (March 2000)".3
Overview
5. All Members are required to notify their Green Box measures annually, except least-
developed countries which should notify any Green Box measures every other year.  Table 1 shows
the total number of Members which have notified Green Box measures under Supporting Table DS:1
for the 1995 to 1998 implementation years.4  Moreover, during the first four years of implementation,
ten Members (Australia, Canada, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Korea, Namibia, Slovak Republic,
South Africa, Switzerland-Liechtenstein and the United States) have notified new or modified Green
Box measures under Table DS:2 covering a total of 63 measures.    In addition, four Members have
submitted domestic support notifications under Table DS:1 for the 1999 implementation year
                                                     
1 For the first contribution, see G/AG/NG/S/1, dated 12 April 2000.
2 Throughout this paper, the term "implementation year" is used as short-hand for the relevant calendar, financial,
or marketing year (see G/AG/W/2/Rev.4).

(Table 8) and another three Members have notified measures under Table DS:2 which relate to the
1999 and 2000 implementation years (EC, Korea and Switzerland-Liechtenstein5).

6. Table 2 indicates, for the 18 Green Box categories contained in Annex 2 of the Agreement on
Agriculture, Members' aggregate expenditures within each of these categories for the implementation
years 1995-98.  Where the expenditures were reported in national currency they were converted to
US dollars (for details, see Annex 3).  In most cases, the notifications specified the applicable GreenBox category.  In some cases, where the notifying Member did not specify the relevant category, this
was inferred from the Member's description of the measure.  Those measures which were not clearly
attributable to the categories specified in Annex 2 of the Agreement on Agriculture have been
assigned to an "other" category, as were any measures put into an "other" category by Members
themselves.  For this purpose, two "other" categories were established, one for "other generalservices" and one for "other measures" not readily fitting into any other of the non-general service
categories (see Annex 2, Tables H and U).  In addition, Table 2 contains a category referred to as
"non-separated general services".  This latter category was created to list notified measures which
appear to be covered by more than one general service category.  In Table I of Annex 2, under the
column "measure type", an attempt has been made to classify the individual categories concerned.
7. Table 3 is designed to highlight the concentration of Green Box expenditures by category.
For this purpose, each Member's expenditures for each Green Box category has been calculated as a
percentage of its total Green Box expenditures.  Table 3 lists the five Members with the highest
concentration of expenditure in the respective Green Box category.
6  Details of the calculations and
corresponding information for other Members can be found in Annex 3.
8. Table 4 shows each Member's total expenditures on Green Box measures in 1995 to 1998,
converted from national currency into US dollars.  Table 4 also identifies each Member's main Green
Box activity.
9. A number of Members have submitted domestic support notifications without Green Box
measures (Table 5).  While most of the Memb ers concerned indicated that no domestic support
measures were in place, three of these Members (Honduras, Maldives and Turkey) notified domestic
support measures other than Green Box policies.
                                                     
5 The notifications G/AG/N/EEC/17, G/AG/N/KOR/25 and G/AG/N/CHE/20, respectively, refer.
6 It should be noted that the expenditure shares shown in Table 3 and Table 4 below do not take into account any
expenditures that were assigned to the "other" and "non-separated general services" categories but which, in effect, relate toprogrammes under any of the Green Box categories specified in those tables.G/AG/NG/S/2
Page 3
10. In total, 67 Members have submitted domestic support notifications for at least one of the
implementation years 1995-98.  Table 6 shows, for each notifying Member, its Green Box
expenditures as a percentage of its total reported domestic support (see Annex 3).  Table 6 also
illustrates, on the basis of the notifications, the relative importance of Blue Box measures, support
within de minimis  levels7 as well as, where applicable, the Current Total AMS and measures under the
special and differential treatment provisions of Article 6.2 of the Agreement on Agriculture("development programmes" – S&D Box).
11. Of the 67 Members noted above, the share of Green Box support in total domestic support
was zero in 12 cases, remained at 100 per cent in 15 cases, showed an increasing "trend" in 15 cases, a
declining "trend" in 5 cases and showed no clear direction in 20 cases (Table 7).
12. Table 8 provides information for the four Members that have submitted domestic support
notifications for the 1999 implementation year.  As evident from this table, only Indonesia provided
domestic support, all of which took the form of Green Box measures.
                                                     
7 Only positive values of support have been taken into account.G/AG/NG/S/2

Botswana BWA/5 Developed animal disease programme:
Diseases of National and economic importance such as Foot and Mouth,
Antrax, Black Quarter, Brucellosis and Rabies, the Government continues tooffer free vaccination to farmers to prevent their animals from these diseases.
These are done through yearly vaccination campaigns. There is also the issue
of Tsetsefly which the Government continues to fight through eradicationcampaigns by using safe and environmentally friendly methods. (More funds
are expected to be used during 1996 to assist the farmers in the North Eastern
part of the country where over 300,000 cattle had to be destroyed due to theCattle Lung Disease).2.8 NNR NNR NNR P million

Plant protection programme:
Due to the agro climatic conditions of Botswana plants are susceptible to
diseases and these are to be controlled by the use of pesticides andinsecticides which ordinary farmers do not have the knowledge of how to
apply them. The plant protection unit assists such farmers in controlling these
plant diseases. Also the unit assists farmers with the spraying of locusts andquelea birds when they attack their fields. The programme involved the
purchase of a new spraying aircraft.23 NNR NNR NNR " See above

Resource Management Act 1991, most resource management responsibilitiesare assigned to New Zealand's 15 regional councils.  As a result, the majority
of resource management programmes relevant to agriculture are now carried
out at the regional level.  The figures given represent the total expenditure bycouncils on the programmes listed net of funds recovered from users or
beneficiaries.  However not all of this expenditure benefits, or is directly
attributable to, agriculture.  Depending on the programme, the amount ofexpenditure that is attributable to agriculture varies between an estimated
60% to 100%.

Regional council flood control:
Expenditure by regional councils on capital investment and maintenance of
off-farm flood protection and land drainage schemes.  Under the Resource
Management Act 1991, most resource management responsibilities areassigned to New Zealand's 15 regional councils.  As a result, the majority of
resource management programmes relevant to agriculture are now carried out
at the regional level.  The figures given represent the total expenditure by
councils on the programmes listed net of funds recovered from users or
beneficiaries.  However not all of this expenditure benefits, or is directly
attributable to, agriculture.  Depending on the programme, the amount of
expenditure that is attributable to agriculture varies between an estimated
60% to 100%.8.900 8.184 11.333 5.992 " 1995:  "Agri-

are not included because loans made in 1986-88 were not subsidized.  TheFarm Credit Amendments Act of 1986 forbids the FCS from under pricing its

Regional council soil conservation:These programmes are part of a national policy for sustainable managementunder the Resource Management Act and the Soil Conservation and Rivers
Control Act.  The programmes are undertaken by regional councils and
typically provide 50-70% of the cost of soil conservation practicesundertaken by farmers in order to fulfil the legislative requirements.  Under
the Resource Management Act, 1991, most resource management
responsibilities are assigned to New Zealand's 15 regional councils.  As aresult, the majority of resource management programmes relevant to
agriculture are now carried out at the regional level.  The figures given
represent the total expenditure by councils on the programmes listed net offunds recovered from users or beneficiaries.  However not all of this
expenditure benefits, or is directly attributable to, agriculture.  Depending on
the programme, the amount of expenditure that is attributable to agriculturevaries between an estimated 60% to 100%.7.000 6.742 9.819 10.664 " 1995:  "Agri-
