to the positions of Members  or to their rights and obligations under the WTO . 
2 G/AG/2 and G/AG/2/Add.1 refer. This document therefore does not reflect the status of ad  hoc 
notification requirements, i.e. those relating to: (i) the triggering of the speci al safeguard provisions 
(Tables MA:3 and MA:4); (ii) the introduction or modification of domestic support measures for which 
exemption from reduction commitments is claimed (Table DS:2); and (iii) expor t prohibitions and 
restrictions  (Table ER:1).

  1  NOTIFICATION REQUIRE MENTS  
1.1.  There are 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 p rohibitions or restrictions (Table ER:1), and (v) Follow -up to the Marrakesh NFIDC 
Decision (Table NF:1). The applicability of a notification requirement to a Member is largely 
dependent on the specific commitments it has assumed under the Agreement on Agr iculture.  
In many cases a limited number of notification requirements will apply for a particular Member. 
Simultaneously, there 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 t han a certain number of days following 
the end of the year in question. The deadlines for submission of notifications vary per type 
of notification and are indicated below. For additional details refer to document G/AG/2.  
1.3.  As of 29 May 2018 a total of 4,244 agriculture notifications (including addenda, corrigenda 
and revision) have been submitted to the WTO. The number of notifications 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  (Figure 1).   
Figure 1: Notifications subm itted to the WTO (1995 -2018*) 
 
* Until 29 May 2018. 
 
1.4.  Notifications covering multiple years have been frequently submitted by Members. Over the 
last years , the average number of years reported per notification has fluctuated between two and 
three ( Figure 2 ).

* Until 29 May 2018. 
 
1.5.  For the period 1995 -2016, there are a total of 1,877 outstanding regular notifications .4 
Out of the five annual notification requirements, Domestic Support (Table DS:1) and 
Export  Subsidy (Table ES:1) notifications have the highest number of outstanding notifications 
with 36% (827 notifications) and 33% (856 notifications) of notifications pending, respectively.  
Figure 3: Total outsta nding notifications per type of notification requirement  (1995 -2016) 
 
* 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.  
 
1.6.  Figure 4 below shows the number of outstanding notifications accor ding to the category 
of Members (i.e. developed country, developing country and least developed country 
Members  -LDC-). 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.  
                                                 
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.  
5 The European Union and its member States were counted as one Member.

1.1  Annual  Notification Obligations  
1.7.  The time limits for notifications co vering  the 1995 -2016 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 conta in information pertaining to the last 1 8 years  (2000-2017). The column concerning 
the 201 7 implementation year is provided for information only and does not necessarily indicate 
that the notifications are now due.  The full  time series (1995 -2017) of compliance information 
is available in the "Compliance with notification obligations" section of the Agriculture Information 
Management System ( http://agims.wto.org ). 
1.8.  Members' compliance with their notification obligat ions 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% (31 Members in DS:1 and 2 6 Members in ES:1) (Table 1).

qualitative aspects of the notifications.
