1  INTRODUCTION  
1. Pursuant to a request of the Chairman of the Trade Policy Review Body, to discuss "ways to 
improve the timeliness and completeness of notifications and other information flows on trade 
measu res" in the context of the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures ("the 
SCM Agreement"), the Committee on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures ("the Committee") 
discussed this matter in several informal and regular meetings held since 2009. Do cument 
G/SCM/W/546 dated 28 April 2009 which contained information on the notification obligations 
under the SCM Agreement and the level of compliance with each of these obligations, was 
circulated as a background Note for the Committee's discussions in th is regard. In the course of 
the meetings held since 2009, Members indicated that updating this document on a regular basis 
would be useful for the Committee's future work on improving transparen cy in notifications. This 
eighth revision reflects development s since April  2016.     
2  NOTIFICATION PROVISI ONS IN THE SCM AGREE MENT  
2. The notification requirements of the SCM Agreement1 can be divided into regular notification 
requirements, which apply in principle to all Members, and special notification requirements, which 
apply to Members invoking particular provisions.   
3. With respect to regular notification requirements, Part VII of the SCM Agreement 
("Notification and Surveillance") contains requirements regarding the notification of subsidies 
(Article 25.1), counte rvailing measures (Article 25.11) and competent authorities that conduct 
countervailing duty investigations (Article 25.12). In addition, Article 32.6 in Part XI of the 
SCM Agreement ("Final Provisions") requires notification of laws and regulations releva nt to the 
SCM Agreement.   
4. The SCM Agreement contains special notification requirements regarding certain aspects of 
the provisions of Article 27 on Special and Differential Treatment of Developing Country Members. 
Special notification requirements also ap plied under provisions, which are no longer applicable, on 
non-actionable subsidy programmes (Article 8) and on transitional arrangements regarding 
existing programmes (Article 28) and transformation into a market economy (Article 29).   
2.1  Regular Notificati ons 
2.1.1   Notification of Subsidies under Article 25  
2.1.1.1   Articles 25.1 -7 
5. Article 25.1 of the SCM Agreement provides that, without prejudice to the provisions of 
Article XVI:1 of the GATT 19942, Members shall make their subsidy notifications not later than 
30 June of  each year.3 Article 25.2 of the Agreement provides that "Members shall notify any 
subsidy as defined in paragraph  1 of Article  1, which is specific within the meaning of Article  2, 
granted or maintained within their territories".4 
6. Article 25.3 of the SCM Agreement contains certain req uirements regarding the content  of 
subsidy notifications. Thus, "the content of notifications should be sufficiently specific to enable 
other Members to evaluate the trade effects and to understand the operation of notified su bsidy 
programmes", and Members are obligated to ensure that their subsidy notifications contain 
                                                
1 The relevant provisions of the SCM Agreement are reproduced in Annex A.   
2 Article XVI:1 of the GATT 1994 requires the notification of subsidies, including any form of price or 
income support, which have an impact on the exports or imports of the product benefiting from the subsidy.  
3 As explained below, based on a decision adopted by the Committee in May 2001, Members sub mit 
subsidy notifications under Article 25.1 of the SCM Agreement every second year. Infra, para. 12. 
4 Article 25.6 provides that a Member must also provide a nil notification if it considers that there are no 
measures in its territory that require notification. Article 25.7 recognizes that notification of a measure under 
Article 25 is without prejudice to its legal status under the GATT 1994 and the SCM Agreement.    G/SCM/W/546/Rev.8

  information on the form, amount, policy objectives and/or purpose and duration of the subsidy and 
statistical data permitting an assessment of the trade effects  of the subsidy.  
7. In July 1995, the Committee adopted a questionnaire format for subsidy notifications under 
Article 25 of the SCM  Agreement and under Article XVI of the GATT 1994 (G/SCM/6).5 This format 
replaced an existing format for notifications under Article XVI:1 of the GATT 1947 that had been 
adopted by the GATT Contracting Parties .6 In November 2003, the Committee adopted a revised 
version of this questionnaire format for subsidy notifications (G/SCM/6/Rev.1).7 The adoption of 
the original format fo r subsidy notifications in 1995 and the adoption of the revised format for 
subsidy notifications in 2003 were based on discussions in the Working Party on Subsidy 
Notifications, which the Committee had established in February 1995 pursuant to footnote 54 t o 
Article 25.3 of the SCM  Agreement.8   
8. The status of subsidy notifications under Article 25.1 by WTO Members since 1995, as well 
as the periods covered by the last subsidy notification received from each Member, are shown in 
the tables in Annex B.9 The ch art below illustrates the trends in the status of compliance with the 
obligations to notify subsi dies during the period 1995 -2015.10 It shows that the number of 
Members that have made subsidy notifications to date (either by notifying subsidies or by 
submit ting a nil notification) has remained essentially stable over this period, while the number of 
Members that have failed to make a notification rose sharply, as WTO membership has increased.

8 G/SCM/M/1/para. 84.  
9 The state of compliance with the subsidy notification provisions of Article 25 has repeatedly been the 
subject of discussion in the Committee. See, e.g. G/SCM/M/99, paras.69 -80; G/SCM/M/97, paras. 98-103; 
G/SCM/M/24, paras. 68-75; G/SCM/M/25, paras. 18 -30;G/SCM/27, paras. 57-62. In 1999 -2002, the 
Secretariat circulated factual reports on compliance with annual notifications obligations under Article 25 of the 
SCM Agreement  (G/SCM/23, 26, 29, 37 and 44 ). In M arch 2002, the Chairman of the Committee circulated a 
note on Members' Difficulties in Making Subsidy Notifications (G/SCM/W/505). In October 2002, a seminar on 
subsidies notifications was held for capital -based officials. G/SCM/M/43, paras. 89 -92.   
10 The data in the chart are structured on the basis of the ten new and full subsidy notifications that 
Members have been required to make to date. Members were required to submit their 2015 new and full 
notifications by 30 June 2015. The data reflect the total figures for each such notification "cycle", based on 
notifications received to date (30 March 2017). It should be noted that certain notifications were made after 
the year in which they were due. The timing for a newly -acceded Member's obligation to submit  its first subsidy 
notification is determined in its protocol of accession. As  Afghanistan and Liberia became Members to the WTO 
in 2016, they were not included in the chart.  G/SCM/W/546/Rev. 8

  9. Indeed, given the significant incre ase in the number of WTO Members since 199511, looking 
at the number of Members that notified and those that did not as a percentage of the total number 
of WTO Members in the year in which the notifications were due may be more informative than the 
absolute  numbers shown in the chart above. The table below is presented for that purpose.12 It 
shows that the share of Members that notified subsidies decreased from 50% to 38% since 1995.  
In addition, t he share of Members that made a "nil" notification fell signi ficantly, from 25% to 
10%, in the same period. Thus, with the exception of the 1995, the share of Members making the 
required notifications has not exceeded 63%, and gen erally has hovered around 58%. Conversely, 
the share of Members not making any notifica tion registered an important increase since 1995, 
from 25% to 52%, albeit with some intervening fluctuations.

2.1.1.2   Articles 25.8 -10 
10. Article 25.8 of the SCM Agreement stipulates that any Member may make a written request 
for information on the nature and extent of a subsidy granted or maintained by another Member, 
or for explanation why a specific me asure is not considered as subject to the requirement of 
notification. A list of requests made under this provision is presented in the table in Annex C.   
11. Article 25.10 provides that where a Member fails to notify a subsidy the notification of which 
is req uired under the SCM Agreement, any other Member may bring this matter to the attention of 
the Member failing to notify. If the subsidy is still not notified, such Member may bring the matter 
to the notice of the Committee. The table in Annex D presents a l ist of notifications made under 
this provision.13   
2.1.1.3   Article 26.1  
12. Article 26.1 stipulates that the Committee shall examine new and full notifications of 
Members in special sessions to be held every third year and that updating notifications made in the 
intervening years are to be examined at each regular meeting of the Committee. In May 2001, the 
Committee decided that new and full subsidy notifications would be made every two years and 
that the annual updating notifications would be de -emphasised.14 The Commi ttee extended this 
decision in 2003 and 2005.15  
                                                
11 The number of WTO Members was 112 as at the end of 1995 and is now 164, after L iberia and 
Afghanistan became Members on 14 July 2016 and 29 July 2016, respectively. The EU and each of its member 
States are counted individually in the figures in the chart and table. Thus, for example, for 2015, the  EU and its 
28 member States are coun ted as 29 WTO Members.    
12 Please note that d ue to rounding , totals may not  correspond to the sum of all figures shown.  
13 The tables in Annexes C and D only list documents that contain explicit references to Articles 25.8 or 
25.10. These tables thus do not  include the vast majority of the documents circulated in the G/SCM/Q2/... 
series, which contain questions and answers on subsidy notifications or on non -notified subsidies without 
expressly referring to Articles 25.8 or 25.10.

  13. The Committee has adopted procedures for the review of new and full subsidy notifications, 
which provide that such review shall take place at special meetings and be based on written 
questions and replies (G/ SCM/117).16 
2.1.2   Notification of Countervailing Measures  
14. Article 25.11 of the SCM Agreement requires Members to notify, without delay, all 
preliminary or final actions taken with respect to countervailing duties. It also stipulates that 
Members shall submit, on a semi -annual basis, reports on any countervailing duty actions taken 
within the preceding six months. In June 1995, the Committee agreed on a standard format for 
semi-annual reports17 and on the minimum information to be provided in reports under 
Article  25.11 on all preliminary or final countervailing actions.18 At its regular meeting on 
20 October 2009, the Committee adopted revised versions of these two notification formats.19 The 
table in Annex E shows the state of the notifications of semi -annual reports  of countervailing 
measures since 1995.   
15. There is a significant number of Members that do not have a competent authority to conduct 
countervailing duty investigations and which therefore have not imposed any countervailing 
measures and are unlikely to do so in the foreseeable future. In order to relieve these Members 
from the obligation to submit semi -annual reports of countervailing actions, the Committee, at its 
regular meeting on 20 October 200920, adopted a one -time notification format.21 A Member 
submit ting this type of notification will not be expected to submit semi -annual reports of 
countervailing actions until such time as it sets up a competent authority and starts conducting 
investigations. One -time notifications are circulated in the G/SCM/N/202/. .. series. A list of these 
notifications received so far is presented in Annex F.   
2.1.3   Notification of Competent Authorities  
16. Article 25.12 of the SCM Agreement stipulates that Members shall notify to the Committee 
which of their authorities are competent to c onduct countervailing duty investigations in their 
territories and the domestic procedures that govern the initiation and conduct of such 
investigations. A list of Members which have submitted notifications under Article 25.12 is 
contained in Annex G.   
2.1.4   Notification of Countervailing Duty Legislation  
17. Article 32.6 of the SCM Agreement provides that Members shall notify to the Committee the 
changes in their laws and regulations relevant to the Agreement and in the administration of such 
laws and regulations. A list of Members which have submitted notifications under Article 32.6 is 
contained in Annex H.   
2.2  Special Notification s  
2.2.1   Notification of N on-Actionable Subsidies under Article 8.3  
18. Article 8.3 of the SCM Agreement required the notification of non -actionabl e subsidies.  
Article 8 is no longer applicable. No notification was received under Article 8.3 during the period in 
which Article 8 was in force.   
                                                
16 These procedures were originally adopted in connection with the review of the 2005 new and full 
subsidy notifications. In April 2007, the Committee decided to apply the same procedures to the review of  
the 2007 new and full notifications (G/SCM/M/60, para. 45). In May 2009, it decided to apply them to the 
review of the 2009 new and full subsidy notifications (G/SCM/M/68, para. 36). In May 2011, the Committee 
decided to conduct the review of the 2011 new and f ull subsidy notifications also under the same procedures 
(G/SCM/M/76, para. 67). In April 2013, the Committee decided to conduct the review of the 2013 new and full 
subsidy notifications also under the same procedures (G/SCM/M/85, para. 51). In April 2015,  the Committee 
again decided to conduct the review of notifications under these procedures (G/SCM/M/93, para. 42).

  2.2.2   Notification s Related to the Provisions of Article 27 Regarding Special and 
Differential Treatment of Devel oping Country Members  
2.2.2.1   Notifications Under Procedures Adopted for Extensions under Article 27 of the 
SCM Agreement  
19. Article 27  of the Agreement contains a series of special and differential treatment 
provisions for developing Members. Among these provisions is Article 27.2(b), which established 
an eight -year period from the date of entry into force of the WTO Agreement for the phase out of 
export subsidies by those developing Members not covered by Annex VII of the Agreement. 
Article  27.4 establishes a mechan ism pursuant to which this phase -out period can be extended 
under certain conditions. On 27 July 2007, the General Council adopted procedures22 regarding the 
continuation of previously -granted Article 27.4 extensions for certain subsidy programmes.23 These 
procedures require annual updating notifications in respect of the programmes benefitting from 
extensions. At its fall 2012 regular meeting, the Committee granted the final extensions pursuant 
to these procedures, for calendar year 2013, based on the inform ation notified in 2012.24 The table 
in Annex I lists the programmes of the nineteen Members covered by these extensions. The final 
two-year phase -out period referred to in Article 27.4 began on 1 January 2014 for these 
programmes, such that the export subsi dies thereunder had to be eliminated not later than 
31 December 2015.25 The Members with extensions  were required to provide transparency 
notifications in respect of each of the two years of phase -out (in 2015 covering 2014, and in 2016 
covering 2015) .26 To date, only eight of the beneficiary Members have submitted these final 
transparency notifications which were circulated in the G/SCM/N/299/... series .27 
2.2.2.2   Notifications in Connection with the  Export Competitiveness of a Member in a 
Given Product (Article 27.6 ) 
20. Article 27.5 of the SCM Agreement provides that a developing Member which reaches export 
competitiveness in a given product has to phase out its export subsidies for that product within 
two years. For Members in Annex VII which reach export competitivene ss, this period is eight 
years. Under Article 27.6, export competitiveness may be determined either on the basis of a 
notification by the developing Member at issue , or on the basis of a computation by the Secretariat 
conducted at the request of any Member . No developing Member has made such a notification  of 
its own export competitiveness .  
2.2.2.3   Notification of Privatization Subsidies under  Article 27.13  
21. Article 27.13 of the SCM Agreement exempts, for a limited period of time, certain subsidies 
granted in conne ction with privatization programmes provided certain conditions are met. The 
table in Annex J provides a list of notifications made under this provision.   
2.2.3   Notifications under the Transitional Arrangements Set Out in Article 28.1(a)  
22. Article 28.1(a) of the SCM Agreement requires the notification of subsidy programmes in 
existence before the date a Member signed the WTO Agreement and which were inconsistent with 
the SCM Agreement. Annex K provides the list of notifications made under Article 28.1(a). This 
provision is no longer applicable.   
2.2.4   Notifications under the Transitional Arrangements Set Out in Article 29.3  
23. Article 29.3 of the SCM Agreement requires the notification of certain subsidies granted by 
Members which were in a process of transformation from a  centrally -planned economy into a

3  NOTIFICATION OF SUBS IDIES IN THE CONTEXT  OF WTO ACCESSIONS  
24. In the context of accessions to the WTO, applica nts are expected to provide information on 
(export) subsidies in the chapter on policies affecting trade in goods of the memorandum on their 
foreign trade regime.28 Applicants typically make a commitment to submit a subsidy notification 
under Article 25 of the SCM Agreement after the entry into force of their protocol of accession:   
"The representative of [X] confirmed that any subsidy programmes would be 
administered in conformity with the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing 
Measures and that all nec essary information on programmes would be notified to the 
Committee on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures in accordance with Article 25 of 
the Agreement upon entry into force of [X's] Protocol of Accession."29 
25. In most cases, this commitment is contained in the relevant working party report.30

28 See the outline format for a memorandum on a foreign trade regime in document WT/ACC/1.  
Applicants have also frequently provided information on subsidies by submitting (draft) subsidy notifications 
under  Article 25 of the SCM Agreement during the accession process.   
29 P. J. Williams, A Handbook on Accession to the WTO  (2008), pp. 92 -93; WTO Secretariat, Technical 
Note on the Accession Process , WT/ACC/10/Rev.3. 28 November 2005, pp.127 -131.   
30 In the cas e of China, paragraph 10.1 of the Protocol of Accession provides that China shall provide a 
subsidy notification under Article 25 of the SCM Agreement, while Annex 5 of the Protocol contains a 
notification submitted by China  during the accession process. A s reflected in paragraph 173 of the Working 
Party Report on China's accession to the WTO, the Working Party took note of a commitment by China to 
"progressively work towards a full notification of subsidies, as contemplated by Article 25 of the 
SCM Agreeme nt".   
In the case of Russian Federation, a specific timeline for the submission of this notification - 180 days 
after accession - was included in the Working Party Report on Russia's Accession (at Table 38 of Annex 2).  
In the case of Kazakhstan, the Worki ng Party Report on Kazakhstan's Accession stipulated that the 
relevant notification was to be submitted 120 days after accession (Table 4 at  para. 1150).  
In the case of Afghanistan, the Working Party Report on Afghanistan's Accession provides that all 
necessary information on notifiable programmes would be notified to the WTO Committee on Subsidies and 
Countervailing Measures according to Article 25 of the Agreement upon entry into force of Afghanistan's 
Protocol of Accession.  
In the case of Liberia, the Wo rking Party Report on Liberia's Accession stipulated that the relevant 
notification was to be submitted within six months of the entry into force of Liberia's Protocol of Accession . G/SCM/W/546/Rev. 8

  ANNEX A  
RELEVANT PROVISIONS OF THE SCM AGREEMENT  
Article 8  
 
Identification of Non -Actionable Subsidies  
 
8.3 A subsidy programme for which the provisions of paragraph  2 are invoked shall be notifi ed 
in advance of its implementation to the Committee in accordance with the provisions of Part  VII. 
Any such notification shall be sufficiently precise to enable other Members to evaluate the 
consistency of the programme with the conditions and criteria pr ovided for in the relevant 
provisions of paragraph  2. Members shall also provide the Committee with yearly updates of such 
notifications, in particular by supplying information on global expenditure for each programme, 
and on any modification of the progra mme. Other Members shall have the right to request 
information about individual cases of subsidization under a notified programme.34 
_______________  
 34 It is recognized that nothing in this notification provision requires the provision of confidential 
information, including confidential business information.  
 
Article 25  
 
Notifications  
 
25.1 Members agree that, without prejudice to the provisions of paragraph  1 of Article  XVI of 
GATT  1994, their notifications of subsidies shall be submitted not later than 3 0 June of each year 
and shall conform to the provisions of paragraphs  2 through 6.  
 
25.2 Members shall notify any subsidy as defined in paragraph  1 of Article  1, which is specific 
within the meaning of Article  2, granted or maintained within their territor ies. 
 
25.3 The content of notifications should be sufficiently specific to enable other Members to 
evaluate the trade effects and to understand the operation of notified subsidy programmes.  In 
this connection, and without prejudice to the contents and for m of the questionnaire on 
subsidies54, Members shall ensure that their notifications contain the following information:  
 
(i) form of a subsidy (i.e. grant, loan, tax concession, etc.);  
 
(ii) subsidy per unit or, in cases where this is not possible, the tot al amount or 
the annual amount budgeted for that subsidy (indicating, if possible, the 
average subsidy per unit in the previous year);  
 
(iii) policy objective and/or purpose of a subsidy;  
 
(iv) duration of a subsidy and/or any other time -limits attached to  it; 
 
(v) statistical data permitting an assessment of the trade effects of a subsidy.

by product or sector.  
 
25.6 Members which consider that there are no measures in their territories requiring notification 
under paragraph  1 of Article  XVI of GATT  1994 and this  Agreement shall so inform the Secretariat 
in writing.  G/SCM/W/546/Rev.8  
 
- 9 - 
 
   
25.7 Members recognize that notification of a measure does not prejudge either its legal status 
under GATT  1994 or  this Agreement, or the  effects under this Agreement, or the nature of the 
measure its elf. 
 
25.8 Any Member may, at any time, make a written request for information on the nature and 
extent of any subsidy granted or maintained by another Member (including any subsidy referred to 
in Part  IV), or for an explanation of the reasons for which a specific measure has been considered 
as not subject to the requirement of notification.  
 
25.9 Members so requested shall provide such information as quickly as possible and in a 
comprehensive manner, and shall be ready, upon request, to provide additional information to the 
requesting Member. In particular, they shall provide sufficient details to enable the other Member 
to assess their compliance with the terms of this Agreement. Any Member which considers that 
such information has not been provided may br ing the matter to the attention of the Committee.  
 
25.10  Any Member which considers that any measure of another Member having the effects of a 
subsidy  has not been notified in accordance with the provisions of paragraph  1 of Article  XVI of 
GATT  1994 and th is Article may bring the matter to the attention of such other Member. If the 
alleged subsidy is not thereafter notified promptly, such Member may itself bring the alleged 
subsidy in question to the notice of the Committee.  
 
25.11  Members shall report with out delay to the Committee all preliminary or final actions taken 
with respect to countervailing duties. Such reports shall be available in the Secretariat for 
inspection by other Members. Members shall also submit, on a semi -annual basis, reports on any 
countervailing duty actions taken within the preceding six months. The semi -annual reports shall 
be submitted on an agreed standard form.  
 
25.12  Each Member shall notify the Committee (a) which of its authorities are competent to initiate 
and conduct invest igations referred to in Article  11 and (b) its domestic procedures governing the 
initiation and conduct of such investigations.

54 The Committee shall establish a Working Party to review the contents and form of the questionnaire 
as contain ed in BISD 9S/193 -194.   
Article 26  
 
Surveillance  
 
26.1 The Committee shall examine new and full notifications submitted under paragraph  1 of 
Article  XVI of GATT  1994 and paragraph  1 of Article  25 of this Agreement at special sessions held 
every third year . Notifications submitted in the intervening years (updating notifications) shall be 
examined at each regular meeting of the Committee.  
Article 27  
 
Special and Differential Treatment of Developing Country Members  
 
27.4 Any developing country Member referre d to in paragraph  2(b) shall phase out its export 
subsidies within the eight -year period, preferably in a progressive manner. However, a developing 
country Member shall not increase the level of its export subsidies55, and shall eliminate them 
within a per iod shorter than that provided for in this paragraph when the use of such export 
subsidies is inconsistent with  its development needs. If a developing country Member deems it 
necessary to apply such subsidies beyond the 8 -year period, it shall not later th an one year before 
the expiry of this period enter into consultation with the Committee, which will determine whether 
an extension of this period is justified, after examining all the relevant economic, financial and 
development needs of the developing cou ntry Member in question. If the Committee determines 
that the extension is justified, the developing country Member concerned shall hold annual 
consultations with the Committee to determine the necessity of maintaining the subsidies. If no G/SCM/W/546/Rev. 8 
 
- 10 - 
 
  such determinati on is made by the Committee, the developing country Member shall phase out the 
remaining export subsidies within two years from the end of the last authorized period.  
27.5 A developing country Member which has reached export competitiveness in any given 
product shall phase out its export subsidies for such product(s) over a period of two years.  
However, for a developing country Member which is referred to in Annex VII and which has 
reached export competitiveness in one or more products, export subsidies on  such products shall 
be gradually phased out over a period of eight  years.  
 
27.6 Export competitiveness in a product exists if a developing country Member's export of that 
product has  reached a share of at least 3.25  per cent in world trade of that product  for two 
consecutive calendar years. Export competitiveness shall exist either (a) on the basis of 
notification by the developing country Member having reached export competitiveness, or (b) on 
the basis of a computation undertaken by the Secretariat at th e request of any Member. For the 
purpose of this paragraph, a product is defined as a section heading of the Harmonized System 
Nomenclature. The Committee shall review the operation of this provision five  years from the date 
of the entry into force of the WTO Agreement.  
 
27.13  The provisions of Part III shall not apply to direct forgiveness of debts, subsidies to cover 
social costs, in whatever form, including relinquishment of government revenue and other transfer 
of liabilities when such subsidies are gra nted within and directly linked to a privatization 
programme of a developing country Member, provided that both such programme and the 
subsidies involved are granted for a limited period and notified to the Committee and that the 
programme results in event ual privatization of the enterprise concerned.   
_______________  
55 For a developing country Member not granting export subsidies as of the date of entry into force of 
the WTO Agreement, this paragraph shall apply on the basis of the level of export subsid ies granted in 1986.

Existing Programmes  
 
28.1 Subsidy programmes which have been established within the territory of any Member before 
the date on which such a Member signed the WTO Agreement and which are inconsistent with the 
provisions of t his Agreement shall be:  
 
(a) notified to the Committee not later than 90  days after the date of entry into force 
of the WTO Agreement for such Member;  and  
 
(b) brought into conformity with the provisions of this Agreement within three years of 
the date of  entry into force of the WTO Agreement for such Member and until then 
shall not be subject to Part  II. 
 
28.2 No Member shall extend the scope of any such programme, nor shall such a programme be 
renewed upon its expiry.   
 
Article 29  
 
Transformation into a  Market Economy  
 
29.1 Members in the process of transformation from a centrally -planned into a market, free -
enterprise economy may apply programmes and measures necessary for such a transformation.  
 
29.2 For such Members, subsidy programmes falling within the scope of Article 3, and notified 
according to paragraph  3, shall be phased out or brought into conformity with Article  3 within a 
period of seven  years from the date of entry into force of the WTO Agreement. In such a case, 
Article  4 shall not apply. I n addition during the same period:  
 G/SCM/W/546/Rev.8  
 
- 11 - 
 
  (a) Subsidy programmes falling within the scope of paragraph  1(d) of Article  6 shall 
not be actionable under Article  7; 
 
(b) With respect to other actionable subsidies, the provisions of paragraph  9 of 
Article  27 shall a pply. 
 
29.3 Subsidy programmes falling within the scope of Article  3 shall be notified to the Committee 
by the earliest practicable date after the date of entry into force of the WTO Agreement. Further 
notifications of such subsidies may be made up to two years after the date of entry into force of 
the WTO Agreement.  
 
29.4 In exceptional circumstances Members referred to in paragraph  1 may be given departures 
from their notified programmes and measures and their time -frame by the Committee if such 
departure s are deemed necessary for the process of transformation.  
Article  32 
 
Other Final Provisions  
 
32.6 Each Member shall inform the Committee of any changes in its laws and regulations relevant 
to this Agreement and in the administration of such laws and regul ations.
