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 twelve 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 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 number of notification requirements will apply for a particular Member. 
Simultaneously, there are a few notification requirements es pecially 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 twelve 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 following 
the end of the year in question. The deadlines for submission of notifications vary per type 
of notification and are indica ted below. For additional details refer to document G/AG/2.  
1.3.  As of 16 March 2017 a total of 3, 968 agriculture notifications (including addenda, corrigenda 
and revision) have been submitted to the WTO. The number of notifications submitted to the WTO 
experie nced a sharp decrease from 2002 to 2007, from the year 2008 onwards the number of 
notifications  submitted annually increased to levels well above those  present in 2007 , with 2013 
and 2015 being the exception  (figure 1).

* Until 16 March 2017. 
 
1.4.  Notifications covering multiple years have been frequently submitted by Members. 
Since  2009 onwards, the average number of years reported per notification has fluctuated 
between two and three ( Figure 2 ). G/AG/GEN/86/Rev.27

1.5.  For the period 1995 -2015, there are a total of 1,831 outstanding regular notifications .4 
Out of the five annua l notification requirements, Domestic Support (Table DS:1) and 
Export  Subsidy (Table ES:1) notifications have the highest number of outstanding notifications 
with 37% (801 notifications) and 34% (846 notifications) of notifications pending, respectively.

* 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 
                                                
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.  G/AG/GEN/86/Rev.27

  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.

1.1  Annual  Notification Obligations  
1.7.  The time limits for notifications co vering  the 1995 -2015 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 notificatio n requirement. 
The tables contain information pertaining to the last 1 5 years  (2002-2016). The column concerning 
the 201 6 implementation year is provided for information only and does not necessarily indicate 
that the notifications are now due.  The full  time series (1995 -2016) 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 t heir notification obligations varies greatly  and compliance also 
varies by type of notification .6 Few Members are 100% compliant with all their notification 
requirements and  there is an important percentage of Members whose compliance with some 
of their no tification obligations is 0% ( 30 Members in DS:1 and 2 5 Members in ES:1) (Table 1).

Note: Compliance is based on notifications as of 13 March 2017. It does not take into account timel iness or 
qualitative aspects of the notifications.

other quota commi tments; Article 18.2  – 30 days)

5 The European Union and its member States were counted as one Member.  
6 Compliance is calculat ed as the number of years covered in the notifications as a percentage of the 
total number of years for which a notification is due. Members that acceded in 2016 are not accounted in the 
calculations.  G/AG/GEN/86/Rev.27

among the highest. Out of the 40 Members with this notification obligation, 20 (50%) are 
completely up t o date with their notifications , whereas 18 Members ( 44%) have compliance rates
