  1  NOTIFICATION REQUIRE MENTS  
1.1.  There is a total of 12 distinct notification requirements applicable in the domain of  agriculture 
covering the following five areas: (i) Market acc ess (Tables MA:1 to MA:5), (ii)  Domestic support 
(Tables DS:1 to DS:2), (iii) Export subsid ies (Tables ES:1 to ES:3), (iv)  Export prohibitions or 
restrictions (Table ER:1), and (v) Follow -up to the Marrakesh NFIDC Decision (Table NF:1). The 
applicability o f a notification requirement to a Member is largely dependent on the specific 
commitments it has assumed under the Agreement on Agriculture.  In many cases a limited number 
of notification requirements will apply for a particular Member. Simultaneously, the re are a few 
notification requirements especially in the area of agricultural subsidization (i.e. Tables DS:1 and 
ES:1) that apply to all WTO Members.  
1.2.  Out of the 12 notification requirements, there are five "regular" or "annual" notification 
requirements, namely: Table MA:2, Table MA:5, Table DS:1, Table ES:1 and Table ES:2. 
Annual  notifications are required to be submitted no later than a certain number of days following 
the end of the year in question. The deadlines for submission of notifications vary pe r type 
of notification and are indicated below. For additional details refer to document G/AG/2.  
1.3.  As of 13 June 2019, a total of 4, 632 agriculture notifications (including addenda, corrigenda 
and revision) have been submitted to the WTO. The number of noti fications submitted to the WTO 
experienced a sharp decrease from 2002 to 2007, from the year 2008 onwards the number of 
notifications  submitted annually increased with varying levels in recent years . 2018 has been the 
year with the highest number of submitted notifications with a total of 2 80 (Figure 1).  
Figure 1: Notifications subm itted to the WTO (1995 -2019*) 
 
 
* Until 13 June 2019. 
1.4.  For the period 1995 -2017, there are a total of 1,895  outstanding regular notifications .4 This 
represents a decrease in outstanding notifications of 6% when compared to the last report issued 
on 15 February. As can be seen in the chart below , Domestic Support (Table DS:1) and 
Export  Subsidy (Table ES:1) notifications continue to account for th e highest number of outstanding 
notifications.  
                                                 
4 "Ad hoc " notification  obligations applicable only upon maintenance of  a specific measure 
(e.g. Table  ER:1 required upon the application of export restrictions) as well as the annual notifications where 
it was not possible  to determine a priori whether the concerned notification requirement would be applicable 
(e.g. Table NF:1 applicable to donor Members only) are excluded.

* This number represents reported years and does not necessarily match the number of notifications 
submitted on the same period since some notifications covered more than one year.  
1.5.  Figure 3 below shows the number of outstanding notifications accor ding to the category 
of Members (i.e. developed country, developing country and least develope d country 
Members  (LDCs)). Out  of the 1 64 WTO Members, nine are developed country Members5 
with 44 annual notification requirements, whereas the remaining 12 7 Member are developing 
country Members (including LDCs) with 3 37 annual notification requirements.

  1.1  Annual  Notification Obligations  
1.6.  The time limits for notifications co vering  the 1995 -2017 implementation years have now 
passed . The seven tables contained in part 2 of this document (Compliance with annual notification 
obligations) show the Members' compliance with their notification requirements. The tables show 
only those Members to whom the notification requirement applies. The last column on each table 
shows the percentage of compliance by Member for the corresponding notification requirement. The 
tables contain information pertaining to the last 1 8 years  (2001-2018). The column concerning the 
2018 implementation year is provide d for information only and does not necessarily indicate that 
the notifications are now due.  The full-time series (1995 -2018) of compliance information 
is available in the "Compliance with notification obligations" section of the Agriculture Information 
Management System ( http://agims.wto.org ). 
1.7.  Members' compliance with their notification obligations varies greatly  and compliance also 
varies by type of notification . Few Members are 100% compliant with all their notification 
requirements and  there is an important percentage of Members whose compliance with some of  their 
notification obligations is 0% ( 29 Members in DS:1 and 2 7 Members in ES:1) (Table 1).

notification ob ligations" section of the Agriculture Information Management System ( http://agims.wto.org/ ).

significant exporters  (G/AG/W/1 23).

document G/AG/R/74), the Republic of Cuba hereby advises that, as of 2011, it will no longer be submitting Table ES:2 figures given th at it has ceased to be a major 
sugar exporter, which was the rationale for this type of notification" (G/AG/N/CUB/52).
