Note by the Secretariat  
Addendum  
In paragraph 10.1 of the Doha Ministerial Decision on Implementation -Related Issues and 
Concerns (document WT/MIN(01)/17, para. 10.1) Ministers:  
 
"Agree[d] that Annex VII(b) to the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing 
Measures includes the Members that are listed therein until their GNP per capita 
reaches US$1,000 in constant 1990 dollars for three consecutive years. This decision 
will enter into effect upon the adoption by the Committee on Subsidies and 
Countervailing Measures of an appropriate methodology for calculating constant 
1990 dollars. If, however, the Committee on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures 
does not reach a consensus agreement on an appropriate methodology by 
1 January  2003, the methodology proposed  by the Chairman of the Committee set 
forth in G/SCM/38, Appendix 2 shall be applied. A Member shall not leave 
Annex  VII(b) so long as its GNP per capita in current dollars has not reached 
US$1,000 based upon the most recent data from the World Bank."  
Pursuant to this paragraph, as of 1 January 2003, the methodology set forth in document 
G/SCM/38, Appendix 2 applies.  
 
As foreseen in paragraph 10.1 of the Doha Ministerial Decision on Implementation -Related Issues 
and Concerns and in application of the method ology in G/SCM/38, the Secretariat informs the 
Committee of updated calculations reflecting: (i)  GNI1 per capita in constant 1990 dollars covering 
the three most recent years for which data are available (2013 -2015)2; and (ii)  GNI per capita in 
current dol lars for the year 2015.  
 
                                                
1 The World Bank data series formerly identified as Gross National Product ("GNP") is now published as 
Gross National Income ("GNI"). This change reflects the implementation of the System of National 
Accounts  1993 ("SNA 93"). Although the underlying concepts are different (GNP being a measure of product, 
and GNI being a measure of income), the values calculated are the same.  
2 Figures for 1990 -1999 are as already contained in G/SCM/38. As agre ed in G/SCM/38, step 3, values 
of GNI per capita at constant 1990 dollars for the period 1990 - 1999 are not modified with subsequent 
revisions of the series. To derive GNI per capita at constant 1990 dollars for 2000, the growth rates for 2000 
over 1999 a t constant 1995 dollars, derived as foreseen in G/SCM/38 table  B, have been applied to the 1999 
GNI per capita values in constant 1990 dollars, as set forth in G/SCM/38, table  C. Similarly, the growth rates of 
2001 over 2000, 2002 over 2001, 2003 over 2002 , 2004 over 2003, 2005 over 2004, 2006 over 2005, 2007 
over 2006, 2008 over 2007, 2009 over 2008, 2010 over 2009, 2011 over 2010, 2012 over 2011, 2013 over 
2012, 2014 over 2013, and 2015 over 2014 have been applied to data for 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004,  
2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014, respectively.  G/SCM/110/Add.14
