exemption from reduction commitments is claimed (Table DS:2); and (iii) expor t prohibitions and

  1  NOTIFICATION REQUIRE MENTS  
1.1.  There are a total of 12 distinct notification requirements a pplicable 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 of 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 n umber 
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 than a certain number of days follow ing 
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 15 November 2018,  a total of 4,361 agriculture notifications (i ncluding 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 . 2018 has been the 
year with the highest number of submitted notifications with a total of 244 (Figure 1) . 
Figure 1: Notifications subm itted to the WTO (1995 -2018*) 
 
* Until 15 November  2018. 
1.4.  For the period 1995 -2016, there are a total of 1,806 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 35% 
(798 notifications) and 32% (838 notifications) of notifications pending, respectively.  
                                                 
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 po ssible 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 developed country 
Members  (LDCs)). Out of the 1 64 WTO Members, nine are developed country Members5 
with 44 annua l notification requirements, whereas the remaining 12 7 Member are developing 
country Members (including LDCs) with 3 37 annual notification requirements.

1.6.  Over the last years, t here have been efforts by the Membership to get up to date with their 
notifications. As can be seen in figure 2, notifications covering multiple years have been f requently 
submitted by Members (F igure 4).

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 n otification 
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  (2000-2017). The column concerning the 
2017 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 obligations varies greatly  and compliance also 
varies by type of notification . Few Members are 100% com pliant 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).

timeliness or qualitative aspects of the notifications.
