_______________  
 
 
Nous, coauteurs du présent document,  
Reconnaissant que l'article  20 de l'Accord sur l'agriculture dispose que l'objectif à long terme de 
réductions progressives substantielles du soutien et de la protection qui aboutiraient à une réforme 
fondamentale est un processus continu ; 
Réaffirm ant notre détermination à  réaliser d'autres progrès  dans tous les piliers des négociations 
sur l'agriculture afin de jeter les bases d'un système de commerce des produits agricoles équitable 
et axé sur le marché ; 
Conven ons que la négociation de nouvelles disciplines relatives au soutien interne repose sur l es 
principes ci -après : 
1. Les Membr es s'engageront à plafonner et à réduire  de moitié au moins  la somme des niveaux 
de soutien interne autorisés ayant des effets de distorsion des échanges et de la production 
actuellement appliqués au niveau mondial dans l'agriculture d'ici à 2030.  
2. À cet effet, les Membr es négocieront un accord visant à plafonner et à réduire les niveaux 
de soutien interne autorisés ayant des effets de distorsion des échanges et de la production . 
Dans ces  négociations, ils prendront en con sidération toutes les formes de soutien interne 
ayant des effets de distorsion des échanges et de la production au titre de l'a rticle 6 de 
l'Accord  sur l'agriculture.  
3. Les contributions des divers Membr es à ces réductions devront être proportionnelles à 
l'importance de s niveaux autorisés actuels de ces Membres et de leur incidence potentielle 
sur les marchés mondiaux, et tenir compte des besoins de développement de chacun des 
Membres  afin de garantir que l'objectif soit atteint à l'échelle mondiale d'ici à 2030.  
4. La mise en œuvre  des obligations de n otification existantes en vertu de l'a rticle 18 de l'Accord 
sur l'ag riculture, qui renforce donc la transparence concernant les  niveaux de  soutien interne 
autorisés existants , est impérative, et tous les efforts doivent être faits pour présenter toutes 
les notifications en suspens sous la forme du tableau DS:1.

PRESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INDIA PARA EL CERTIFICADO DE ORIGEN NO  
MODIFICADO GENÉTICAMENTE Y DE AUSENCIA DE ELEMENTOS  
MODIFICADOS GENÉTICAMENTE - PREOCUPACIÓN  
COMERCIAL ESPECÍFICA  501 
COMUNICACIÓN DE LOS ESTADOS UNIDOS DE AMÉRICA  
La siguiente comunicación, recibida el 14 de julio de 2023, constituye la declaración formulada por 
los Estados Unidos de América en la reunión del Comité de Medidas Sanitarias y Fitosanitarias de 
la OMC que tuvo lugar del 12 al 14 de julio de 2023, y se distribuye a petición de la delegación de 
los Estados Uni dos de América . 
_______________  
1.  Esta es la octava vez que los Estados Unidos plantean en una reunión del Comité MSF sus 
preocupaciones relativas a la Orden de la India por la que se exige un certificado de origen no 
modificado genéticamente y de ausencia de elementos modificados genéticamente 
para 24 productos importados destinados al consumo humano.  
2.  Los Estados Unidos reconocen el derecho de la India a reglamentar los productos en lo que 
respecta a la inocuidad de los alimentos, siempre que esa r eglamentación se base en pruebas 
científicas y en principios en materia de riesgos ; sin embargo, la India aún no ha proporcionado la 
justificación científica solicitada con respecto a la prescripción de un certificado de origen no 
modificado genéticamente para los 24 productos que abarca la Orden.  
3.  En anteriores declaraciones, la India afirmó que la prescripción relativa al certificado es una 
garantía de las autoridades competentes de que los cultivos alimentarios exportados a la India para 
consumo humano so n de origen no modificado genéticamente y carecen de elementos modificados 
genéticamente, y citó varios interlocutores comerciales que cumplen la prescripción.  
4.  Los Estados Unidos han señalado que el cumplimiento de la prescripción de un certificado de 
ausencia de elementos modificados genéticamente no prueba que la medida sea compatible con el 
Acuerdo MSF de la OMC.  
5.  Tras las numerosas peticiones realizadas, la India aún no ha aportado el fundamento científico y 
la evaluación del riesgo en que se basan esas prescripciones . La India parece estar ignorando una 
tradición que ha existido durante décadas de hacer públicas evaluaciones del riesgo realizadas por 
las autoridades competentes que demuestran que los alimentos y piensos aprobados derivados de 
la biotecno logía moderna son seguros para el consumo.  
6.  Observamos también que la India autorizó recientemente el uso comercial de la mostaza 
modificada genéticamente producida en el país y que los agricultores  del país cultivan habitualmente 
algodón modificado genétic amente.  
7.  Los Estados Unidos continúan  solicitando a la India que revoque inmediatamente esta medida 
restrictiva del comercio . Además, siguen dispuestos a entablar nuevos diálogos para encontrar 
alternativas de facilitación del comercio seguras que aborden l as preocupaciones sanitarias y 
fitosanitarias legítimas de la India.
