RESUMEN : la norma notificada establece una recomendación de la Comisión de normas para el 
cacahuete (maní)  (Peanut Standards Board ): la revisión de las normas mínimas de  calidad y 
acondicionamiento del cacahuete de producción nacional o importado comercializado en los 
Estados Unidos . La Comisión, constituida por productores y representantes del sector, aconseja a 
la Secretaría de Agricultura en relación con la posible mod ificación de las normas . Con esta medida 
se flexibiliza n los criterios  de clasificación del cacahuete (maní) según el porcentaje de semillas 
dañadas en las existencias de los agricultores : se incrementa el porcentaje de semillas dañadas 
permitido en el pro ducto  clase 1 ; de un valor igual o inferior al 2,49 % a un valor igual o inferior al 
3,49%. Asimismo,  se ajustan los requisitos relativos a la clase 2 para reflejar la modificación . La 
Comisión recomendó esta modificación para armonizar las normas que se aplican al producto en 
bruto, que han sido modificadas recientemente, con las normas de calidad que se aplican al 
producto de comercialización y contribuir a que aumenten  los ingresos de los productores.  
Entra en vigor el 1 de febrero de 2018 .

  GROUPE DE TRAVAIL DE L'ACCESSION DU KAZAKHSTAN À L'OMC 
COMMUNICATION PRÉSENTÉE PAR LA RÉPUBLIQUE DU KAZAKHSTAN 
Révision 
La communication ci-après est distribuée aux membres du Groupe de travail, à la demande 
de la délégation de la République du Kazakhstan. Elle confirme la proposition révisée sur l'agriculture présentée oralement aux Membres lors de la réunion plurilatérale sur l'agriculture, 
présidée par le Secrétariat de l'OMC, qui s'est tenue le lundi 22 juillet 2013.

  NÉGOCIATIONS PLURILATÉRALES SUR L'AGRICULTURE 
PROPOSITION RÉVISÉE SUR LE SOUTIEN INTERNE 
ET LES SUBVENTIONS À L'EXPORTATION 
Compte tenu des résultats des dernières négociations plurilatérales sur l'agriculture entre la 
délégation du Kazakhstan et les délégations des Membres de l'OMC, qui ont eu lieu à Genève le 
4 juin 2013, et dans le but de mettre un point final aux négociations, le Kazakhstan propose ce qui suit: 
Soutien interne: 
- niveau de minimis  de 8,5%; 
Note n° 1:  Du point de vue technique, les données sur la valeur des préférences concernant la 
TVA et celle des subventions à l'exportation ont été indiquées dans les tableaux 
explicatifs relatifs au soutien interne à des fins de transparence uniquement. Le 
Kazakhstan est disposé à ne pas inclure dans ces tableaux les programmes destinés à remplacer les subventions à l'exportation et les préférences concernant la TVA qu'il est 
prévu d'éliminer progressivement. Il est entendu que le montant correspondant à 
chacun des programmes en question serait pris en compte dans le cadre des négociations sur les niveaux d'engagement concernant la MGS totale, et que le 
Kazakhstan aurait la possibilité de mettre en  place des subventions directes à l'avenir. 
Note n° 2:  Il convient de noter que les programmes que le Kazakhstan prévoit de mettre en 
œuvre dans le cadre du programme gouvernemental "Agrobusiness 2020" sont 
élaborés pour faire face aux problèmes actuels dans le secteur agricole. En outre, le 
Kazakhstan mettrait davantage l'accent sur l'utilisation des mesures de soutien 
interne décrites dans l'Annexe 2 de l'Accord sur l'agriculture, telles que le développement de l'agronomie, la construction d'infrastructures rurales, etc.  
- Dans ce contexte, le Kazakhstan demande que le volume de 2,8 milliards de dollars EU de la 
MGS reste au même niveau pendant la mise  en œuvre du programme gouvernemental 
"Agribusiness 2020" et qu'il soit réduit et consolidé au niveau de 2,3 milliards de dollars EU 
à compter du 1
er janvier 2021. 
Subventions à l'exportation: 
Aucune subvention à l'exportation ne sera accordée par le Kazakhstan au moment de son 
accession à l'OMC dans le cadre de l'ensemble de mesures proposé concernant le soutien interne. 
Compte tenu de ce qui précède, le Kazakhstan espère que les Membres de l'OMC adopteront 
une approche constructive pour conclure ces négociations sur l'agriculture.
