TECHNICAL NOTES  
Selected product groups  
1.5.  Each of the attached tables includes major exporters during the period covered with respect to 
the selected product/product group concerned . For each product/product group, exporters are 
ranked in descending order based on their exports in the most recent year for which data are 
available  (i.e. 201 7).  
1.6.  The product definitions of the selected data sources in terms of the Harmonize d System 
classification (HS 2012 ) are included in Annex 1 to this note.  These product definitions do not 
necessarily match the product definitions used by Members  in the Uruguay Round  for the purpose 
of schedu ling their export subsidy commitments.  This point should be borne in mind, in particular 
when comparing the statistical data with scheduled commitment levels, subsidized exports or total 
exports as reported by Members in accordance with the relevant notifi cation requirements (G/AG/2 
refers).   G/AG/W/32/Rev.17

  Data  
1.7.  The data provided in this note are sourced from UN Comtrade (reported data, complemented 
by mirror data), Trade Data Monitor (TDM) and, in some cases, WTO estimates.  Other sources may 
produce different results in terms of absolute volumes and values as well as year -to-year changes 
of shares in world export volumes/values.  This may be due to a variety of reasons, including 
differences with respect to product definition, reporting period (e.g. calendar year versus ma rketing 
year), conversion factors or the revision of data.  
1.8.  The trade data of the European Union (EU)  as well as the aggregate exports (referred to as 
"world totals" in the tables) exclude intra -EU trade.  The data for the EU refer to the EU-27 
(2008 -2013) a nd EU-28 (2014 -2017) . The country -specific and commodity -specific explanatory 
notes which are contained in the source  data are not reproduced in this note.
